The grml FAQ says LILO is used because it works. I have no problem with that and have been using LILO. The problem is that during grml boot, messages appear about sleeping for X seconds to fix problems with LILO. Boot delays I do not enjoy.
This happens only if you are using initramfs. initramfs-tools with lilo is broken since ages. :( So either deactivate initramfs (the initrd stuff) if you don't need it at all or if you switch to grub deactivate the lilo-fix via running:
cd /usr/share/initramfs-tools cp init.orig init cp scripts/functions.orig scripts/functions update-initramfs -c -t -k $(uname -r)
Would grub be better? What about grub version 2, is anyone using that with grml? Thank you,
Use of grub would fix the issue, yes. As Debian does not care about lilo I'm thinking about switching to Grub at grml as well. I've some code for grub in grml-debootstrap already, I hope I can find some time to port the code to grml2hd as well.
I've added it to the BTS, http://bts.grml.org/grml/issue81
