Situation
The default label in /etc/lilo.conf is
corrupted after updating to the latest version of perl-bootloader
(0.4.18.11-0.2). All underscores ( _ ) which are being used in the
default label will be converted to spaces.
Before the update:
default ="SLES_10_SP1"
After the update:
default = "SLES 10
SP1"
When invoking the commandlilo to write the new bootloader
configuration lilo reports:
sles10:~ # lilo
Added SLES_10_SP1
Added FailsafeV1
Fatal: Default image doesn't exist.
sles10:~ #
Added SLES_10_SP1
Added FailsafeV1
Fatal: Default image doesn't exist.
sles10:~ #
Resolution
This issue has been fixed
with perl-Bootloader-0.4.18.15-0.2.3.

for all architectures is
