Bootloaders
 
Hi
I have ubuntu installed alongside XP and it has installed Grub by default. I have tried uninstalling Grub using the synaptic package manager and installing Lilo but it still boots with Grub. I'm guessing theres something obvious I'm missing?:scratch:

You need to run

lilo

or

/usr/sbin/lilo

I've run lilo from the terminal as suggested and this is the error message i get

Warning: '/proc/partitions' does not match '/dev' directory structure.
Name change: '/dev/dm-0' -> '/dev/evms/hda1'
Warning: Partition 3 on /dev/hda is not marked Active.
Warning: Unable to determine video adapter in use in the present system.
Warning: Video adapter does not support VESA BIOS extensions needed for
display of 256 colors. Boot loader will fall back to TEXT only operation.
Added Linux 2.6.10-0 *
Added Memory Test+

I'm a bit confused now as the graphics can handle maximum colour/resolution in windows, and when I had Mandrake installed it happily switched between Lilo and Grub.
