I have an old machine (AMD K2 500, 300 odd of ram) which will not load grub for some reason. At present I am running Mandriva 2005, and have tried Suse in the past (but it ran like a disabled slug). I would like to try other distros but I need them to use Lilo: any suggestions?
Pick any distro you want to try. If it doesn't have lilo as an alternative bootloader, it shouldn't be all that hard to download and install.
In Re your problem with MK and grub: post your /etc/fstab and grub.conf (or /boot/grub/menu.lst if that's what MK uses). We may be able to help you solve that problem.
