boot loaders
Should lilo be removed?
It was proposed to remove lilo, because of know problems with some configurations. But also grub (and grub2) cannot be used for some configuration. In this BoF I will explain the boot sequence, the status of the main boot loaders (lilo, grub, grub2, extlinux) for i386 and amd64 arch, the upstream plans, and the feature (focusing on the missing features) of the various boot loaders. Then the real discussion: lilo should be really removed? How to "move" configuration of one boot loader into an other, in most transparent way?
