Edit lilo.conf, run /sbin/lilo, but lilo won't take changes
I've got a dual boot laptop (win7 and slack 13.37). I have lilo installed in the superblock (slack root partition) and chain-load off of the windows bootloader. I just upgraded to current and the 3.2.2 kernel through slackpkg.
I've edited lilo to boot the new kernel, run lilo -v, and lilo reports that my changes have been added.
I edited lilo.conf so I can boot both kernels (old and new), but when I boot those choices don't show up on the lilo screen. For some reason, the changes won't take. The way I have my dual boot setup requires copying a new bootsect.lnx to the windows root partition whenever I make a change to lilo. Lilo still boots, I haven't had to DD my linux root to make a new bootsect file and slack still boots to the old kernel.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
