Hello,
I just update my Fedora 8 with yum, and I don't want to reboot it as I
get an error during the update. I cannot easily rescue it in
case of problem as the host is located at a remote location (datacenter).
so the /boot/boot.b is missing, the bootloader is lilo.
How can I regenerate this file ?
I have include more information about my configuration.
Thanks for your help.
Thomas
INFORMATION
============
I have a Fedora 8 :
# cat /etc/fedora-release
Fedora release 8 (Werewolf)
I had updated the system from a FC4 to Fedora 8 a month ago, I just
follow the instruction from the wiki. Everything went fine.
Now today I run the command sudo yum update , I resume the
dependencies to kernel packages :
Installing:
kernel i686 2.6.25.6-27.fc8 updates 18 M
kernel-devel i686 2.6.25.6-27.fc8 updates 5.2 M
Updating:
kernel-headers i386 2.6.25.6-27.fc8 updates 734 k
Removing:
kernel i686 2.6.23.17-88.fc7 installed 44 M
kernel-devel i686 2.6.23.17-88.fc7 installed 15 M
during the installation I get

The bootloader is Lilo :
