[Voyage-linux] Is the PS/2 keyboard configured work on VIA EPIA?

[Robert Haskins]

No line defining a serial console that I can see. I am no LILO expert 
mind you; I work much more with grub.

Here is my lilo.conf:

boot = /dev/hdc
#compact
install=text
map=/boot/map
vga=normal
delay=1
default=Linux

image=/vmlinuz
#       initrd=/initrd.img
                 root=/dev/hdc1
         label=Linux
         read-only
#       restricted
#       alias=1

image=/vmlinuz.old
                 root=/dev/hda1
         label=LinuxOLD
         read-only
         optional
#       restricted
#       alias=2
