Ive been having problems after problems with Gentoo for some reason. Well im now trying to finish the install with making lilo work properly. Everytime I do '/sbin/lilo' I get:

Warning: Unable to detect video adapter in use in the present system.
Added gk_linux
Fatal: no images have been defined or default image doesn't exist.

My kernel is kernel-2.4.20-gentoo-r8 and my config file for lilo is:

boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
lba32
default=linux
image=/boot/kernel-2.4.20-gentoo-r8
label=gk_linux
root=/dev/hda3
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.20-gentoo-r8
append="root=/dec/hda3 init=linuxrc"

Can someone help me out? I wanna get this linux installed lol

did you try to finish the installation anyway (reboot)??? if I remeber corectly LILO in this stage of install has some problems detecting the graphic card, but this should not efect the performance of the system; I think !?!

I wouldn't worry about the video card message. I get that too.

It looks like your problem is that your default like is this:

Code:

default=linux


and the label in your entry is this:

Code:

label=gk_linux


Either change your default to 'gk_linux' or change your label to 'linux'. As long as they match you should be all set.
