Well, after many long hours of fighting with it, I've found one way in which GRUB is definitely NOT superior to LILO. I have a Toshiba Satellite 490XCDT laptop. I've just installed a 10 GB drive into said laptop. Unfortunately, the laptop BIOS has no way of enabling LBA for large drives. GRUB simply will not work on a drive over 8 GB without LBA. LILO works just fine. And I did try just about everything conceivable to make GRUB work, as I like GRUB. It just wasn't going to happen.. |
