[Voyage-linux] Fatal Error: Failed to chroot to to install lilo

[William M. Brack]

Hi Burlen,

  It certainly looks as though there's a problem with the script(s).
Although I wrote most of that part, unfortunately I'm not going to
be able to spare much time over the next couple of weeks, so it
might be awhile before it gets fixed.

  If anyone else would like to take a stab at it, the trouble looks
like it's coming from the voyage distribution script
/usr/local/sbin/setboot.sh - the actual failure message comes from
line 62 of that script, where lilo is run with a 'chroot'; I'm
pretty sure it's not that the "chroot" is wrong, but rather that
the lilo run had errors.  It's probably because something is wrong
with the automatically generated configuration file, which (after
the script has been run) can be found at
   {target directory}/etc/lilo.install.conf.

  Thanks for reporting it - and it will, eventually, get fixed!
