[Voyage-linux] voyage 0.85 on WRAP board using lilo fails

[Beat Meier]

Hi

Gurb works fine for me von voyage-0.8.5. and wrap and alix!
With this lilo configuration your root partition mus be labled VOYAGE_FS
if not it will not boot!!
Lilo works to fine but I think you have to downgrade lilo!!
I don't remeber if I downgraded. Version which works for me: lilo 1:22.8.8.1
A working lilo.conf or grub.menu in my case for wrap/alix and root on 
/dev/hda2

boot = /dev/hda

install=text
vga=normal
prompt
timeout=20
#serial=0,38400n8
default=Linux

image=/boot/vmlinuz-3.2.17-voyage
         initrd=/boot/initrd.img-3.2.17-voyage
         root=/dev/hda2
         label=Linux
         ### For alix board enabled dma
#       append="console=ttyS0,38400n8"
         ### For wrap board also works for alix board
         append="console=ttyS0,38400n8 ide-core.nodma=0.0"
         read-only

a working grub menu.cfg for wrap

serial --speed=38400
terminal serial

timeout 5
default saved

title Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-3.2.17-voyage root=/dev/hda2 console=ttyS0,38400n8 
clocksource=tsc
initrd /initrd.img-3.2.17-voyage

Greetings

Beat
