I am having trouble getting lilo to install using gentoo with the 2.6.6 kernel.
 
I am using this lilo.conf

Code:
boot=/dev/hda7prompttimeout=10default=gentoomap=/boot/mapimage=/boot/kernel-2.6.6        label=gentoo        read-only        append="devfs=mount init=/linuxrc real_root=/dev/hda8"        initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.6image=/boot/kernel-2.6.6-win4lin-r1        label=win4lin        read-only        append="devfs=mount init=/linuxrc real_root=/dev/hda8"        initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.6-win4lin-r1
 
When I run /sbin/lilo, I get the following:

Code:
Warning: '/proc/partitions' does not match '/dev' directory structure.    Name change: '/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc' -> '/dev/hda'    The kernel was compiled with DEVFS_FS, but 'devfs=mount' was omitted        as a kernel command-line boot parameter; hence, the '/dev' directory        structure does not reflect DEVFS_FS device names.Added gentoo *Added win4lin
 
When I try to boot into lilo, my screen flashes a few times then my machine reboots reboots.
 
I have tried using just one kernel and get the same result.
 
The gentoo forums have been no help. Does anyone have suggestions? Thanks in advance.
