#4 LILO based boot uses last kernel image

[Petri Makijarvi]

If there is no GRUB boot configuration file and/if the
system boots only with LILO (SuSE 7.x and such) the
last image-line of the /etc/lilo.conf is used to find the
kernel. Often this fails, since the image line contains not
a kernel but a memory test program.

The intended operation is use the first image-line of
the /etc/lilo.conf.

This bug affects also the network boot. When base
image is taken, the same, buggy method is used to
select the kernel to store on the server.

The problem is located in the module boot.c. The problem is
resolved in the v2.0.5, available in the CVS branch v2_0_5.
You can take the boot.c from the above CVS and recompile
with Makefile. Release v2.0.6 will contain the fix.
Of course, you can make your /etc/lilo.conf to contain but
one image-definition (shame on me to propose this!).
