Hello All,
I want to get FILO working on my system (arima/hdama). As I want to rule out my Linux installation I have a few questions. I've installed openSuSE 11.2 x86_64 on a SATA disk connected to the on board SIL3114 controller.
I have the follwoing partitioning. 1) /boot about 128 MB 2) swap about 2 GB 3) /root about 60GB 4) /home about 20GB
Is this OK or is there also a track maximum for FILO like existed for LILO? Is it best to configure FILO with grub commands?
Regards,
Joop.

That's fine.

Not that I know of.
Is it best to configure FILO with grub commands?
Personally I strongly prefer USE_GRUB=0 (is it CONFIG_GRUB=0 in current FILO?) because I just don't like the regular GRUB. :)
It doesn't matter how you configure, but keep in mind that while FILO uses GRUB syntax in the GRUB mode, it does use FILO device naming. Note also that FILO device naming is different from Linux device naming, even if the names happen to be the same.
The kernel would be hd*1:/bzImage or somesuch. That corresponds to /boot/bzImage in the running system.
