Is it possible for a CentOS system on EC2 to not have a bootloader?

http://unix.stackexchange.com – I'm attempting to look for grub: [root /]# find / -iname "*grub*" /sbin/grubby /usr/share/man/man8/grubby.8.gz /usr/share/vim/vim70/syntax/grub.vim /usr/share/vim/vim70/ftplugin/grub.vim /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/01grub Now I'm attempting to look for lilo: [root /]# find / -iname "*lilo*" /usr/share/doc/syslinux-3.11/keytab-lilo.doc /usr/share/vim/vim70/syntax/lilo.vim /usr/lib/syslinux/keytab-lilo.pl I thought perhaps it was somehow being hidden with SELinux so I tried to turn that off (temporarily): [root@ /]# setenforce 0 setenforce: SELinux is disabled Hmm, look like it was alread (HowTos)

Without rebooting, is it possible to tell if the boot loader currently present was LILO. GRUB 0.97 or GRUB 1.9X?

I was thinking about reading MBR, but not sure about it. Just by checking the files on system, i.e /etc/lilo.conf doesn't testify anything

Any ideas?

LILO Not Support.. 2 years 43 weeks ago

LILO not supported?

Does anyone know the diff between GRUB and LILO?

THanksl

Hello together,

I'm dualbooting Slackware and Gentoo on my homeserver.

Some weeks ago I built grub with a slackbuild-script, it was the new version of grub but it did not install properly. Since then I could only boot Slackware but not Gentoo. Today I tried to install grub from the Gentoo-partition (I chrooted to Gentoo).

Linux Loader (LILO) is the default boot loader (boot manager) for most Linux systems. It is used to boot a computer into Linux. LILO provides many tools for troubleshooting booting issues. It also allows a dual boot of the Linux operating system with any other operating system.

I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on a spare partition, but didn't want to install Grub since I'm sure Ubuntu isn't going to be around for more than a little test drive. The problem I have is that lilo doesn't like the initrd.img file, complaining that it's too large. I'm assuming this file should be in the initrd line for the lilo entry.

I Cannot Install GRUB/LILO 2 years 43 weeks ago

I'm triple booting my iMac.

But after installing "GRUB/LILO", I stilll need to insert the "DVD" to boot into either Win 7 or opensuse 11.3

Why is my install of the GRUB/LILO boot loader not working?

Thanks.

Can't add Ubuntu into lilo.conf 2 years 19 weeks ago

Hi,everybody I posted this in the Slackware Forums but nobody replied yet...:(

Hi, everyone. I finally installed Slackware and now I have Windows, Slackware and Ubuntu in my laptop. I installed Ubuntu at the last order and at that time GRUB the default loader.

Item /dev/sda1 of software RAID1 /dev/md0 has gone to a better world. md0 is mounted to a root / directory, and it contains /boot directory.

My lilo.conf configure is

boot=/dev/md0 root=/dev/md0 raid-extra-boot=mbr-only

So, I expect that the second item of md0 - /dev/sdb1 contains all nessecary information to boot from it.

I use four partitions on my machine: first and second for different Linux systems, third for data and fourth for swap. On the first partition I installed Mint. By default it used GRUB installed on /dev/sda. Then I installed Slackware on the second partition. I decided to put LILO on /dev/sda. In result I lost access to GRUB and Mint.
