UPDATE 2000 Mar 13, kgw@suse.de
===============================

See

   ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/kgw/6.3/lilo-21-85.i386.rpm

for a more recent LILO update intended for SuSE Linux 6.3-i386.


---------------------------------------------------------

The present LILO packages

       lilo-21-13.rpm, lilo-21-37.rpm

based on a patch for LILO v.21 by Josef Moellers, are 
intended to replace the standard LILO package

            lilo.rpm (version 21) 

shipped with SuSE Linux 6.1, resp., SuSE Linux 6.2. Use

       lilo-21-13.rpm for a SuSE Linux 6.1 installation, 
       lilo-21-37.rpm for a SuSE Linux 6.2 installation. 

The package is meant for systems with a large extended BIOS data area (EBDA). 
In particular this includes the Siemens Primergy 870 servers.

It fixes the problem that LILO from the standard package cannot 
boot such systems. 

The next LILO version (v.22) which is under way at present is meant
to not have this problem anymore.


NOTE  

The second release of SuSE Linux 6.1 contains another LILO
package under CD1:/unsorted/lilo which can boot LARGE_EBDA systems
but (alas) does not reliably accept boot parameters at the
boot: prompt.  The present package lilo-21-13.rpm constitutes a 
bugfix for this.
