Hi,

If you have a space in of of your boot images' labels lilo will fail.

I rebooted from the cd in rescue mode and put " around the label which made it work. If you don't put the " around the label in this case lilo complained the the sector was higher then 1024 even with the lba32 option.

I don't know if anyone changed the behaviour for this part of the installer. Adding qoutes around the boot label will always work, with our without spaces. The installer never complained about it although producing a warning if lilo fails in unexpected ways would be nice.

Cheers
