LiLo-Installation with kernel 2.4 and YaST1 doesn´t work

Support knowledgebase (yast1_kernel24_install)

Symptom:

During the installation of SuSE Linux 7.1 with YaST1 you choose Kernel 2.4. While executing LILO the following error message appears:

Added linux *

Fatal: open /boot/initrd_24: No such file or directory

Cause:

YaST1 wants to integrate the initrd, however it is missing in some systems, e.g. pure IDE-computer.

Solution:

Switch to console 4 (with key combination Alt+F4) and type:


chroot /mnt

Edit the file /etc/lilo.conf and remove the line containing "/boot/initrd_24". After that execute lilo and continue the installation on console 1 (Alt+F1).
