Problem with lilo.


I recently upgraded to Suse 9.3 from 9.2 and for some reason the lilo graphics isn't working anymore, for obvius reasons i can't post a screenshot but it can best be discribed as if it was running on some sort of bearbone mode so how do i get the graphics back? Maybe someone could post thiere lilo.conf so I can try to use that to see if it helps.

Output from lilo -v

why lilo?

Isn't it about time you fired up your install discs as a rescue system, ditched lilo and installed Grub?
