No because I kept the kernel updates blacklisted in slapt-getrc... well, I reinstalled Salix 'core' package (without formatting my partition, of course) and then it went fine.gapan wrote:Did you update the kernel and forgot to run lilo?lmello wrote:After the latest batch of updates, I can't run 13.2alpha1 from virtualbox.

Possibly your vmlinuz image got moved on the disk by the filesystem. As lilo uses blocklists (i.e. it directly reads from the disk ignoring the filesystem), it won't notice such changes.
In fact you musn't reinstall when the bootloader breaks. Just booting by some other means and 'x=<path to root of broke installation>; mount --bind /sys $x/sys; mount --bind /proc $x/proc; chroot $x lilo -v' should be enough for lilo. Or you can simply use lilosetup e.g. from SalixLive.
