When creating a LILO configuration file, make sure you maintain a section for both the new kernel and the old kernel. Incorrectly installing new kernels can be a recipe for disaster. Even if your new kernel has some unexpected problem, you have an existing, known kernel to fall back on.

Reuse the /usr/src/linux.config file created by the kernel configuration process when upgrading between kernel revisions. This helps ensure you don’t forget support for vital hardware.

It is also a good idea to maintain a boot disk with a known working kernel with as few modules as possible. The simplest way to create such a boot disk is to write a copy of your kernel directly to the floppy:

dd if=/boot/vmlinuz of=/dev/fd0

and then tell it which file system to mount as root:

rdev /dev/fd0 /dev/hda2

Then, if your system will not boot for some reason, you can fall back to a kernel on removable media.

Here is the lists some common options you can pass to the kernel, and the following series of steps explains how and when to use these options:

1. At the LILO prompt, press the Tab key. You will see all your kernel(s) listed.
2. If you have another kernel listed, try that. It may allow you to boot successfully, so that you can fix the problem or remove the bad kernel entirely.
3. If you do not have a backup kernel, try passing options to the kernel. What option to pick depends on how your kernel is failing.
4. If the kernel boots, you should fix the problem, remove the bad kernel, or permanently add the options to your /etc/lilo.conf file.

1. Restart the computer. At the LILO boot: prompt, press the Tab key.
2. You will see a list of kernels. I usually name my custom kernels by their version number, but the default SuSE kernel has the simple label linux. Regardless of the name, your default kernel is probably the first one listed. Type that name, a space, and then the word single, and press Enter.
3. Linux will now boot in single-user mode. Only the very basic daemons will start, and you will then be asked for the root password. Type it in, and you will be presented with a prompt.
4. You are now free to fix the problem. If a daemon was stalling and causing the boot to hang, you should either fix the daemon or disable it completely.
5. Once you are done, type exit. Linux should now boot normally.

For an even more minimal boot, try typing linux init=/bin/bash at the LILO prompt. This starts nothing but the Bash shell, bypassing any daemons or the prompt for a password. Only the root partition is mounted.

The second major group of system failures consists of various file system corruptions and outright mistakes. It is conceivable that an untimely power failure could corrupt files vital to booting even a rudimentary system. Perhaps more likely is that such files get altered or deleted by an overuse of the root account. There are many ways that a Linux system could become damaged, but in the end if the system becomes unbootable, you need to somehow recover from the emergency.

Although having a system fail to boot can be one of the most distressing types of failures, it’s not the only one you might have to guard against. Files and entire directories may get damaged or deleted over time. Mistakes and misfortunes do happen, so you need to know how to handle them. The following sections describe some of the options you have after the system fails to boot, files or file systems get corrupted, or you forget the root password.
