During upgrade from intrepid to Jaunty I recieved a message which informed that there was no previous version of Lilo and I should run liloconfig and then sbin/lil. Unfortunately when I tried to run liloconfig I recieved the following message
WARNING! │
│ │
│ Your /etc/fstab configuration file gives device │
│ UUID=87279d44-51c1-486f-9288-029bb0538f54 as the root filesystem device. │
│ This doesn't look to me like an "ordinary" block device. Either your │
│ fstab is broken and you should fix it, or you are using hardware (such │
│ as a RAID array) which this simple configuration program does not │
│ handle. │
│ │
│ You should either repair the situation or hand-roll your own │
│ /etc/lilo.conf configuration file; you can then run /usr/sbin/liloconfig │
│ again to retry the configuration process. Documentation for LILO can be │
│ found in /usr/share/doc/lilo/.
How do I fix this please. I am an absolute beginner so will need detailed direction.
Thanks:confused:
