Switch from LILO to GRUB.

[mbowler9]

Hello,

I have RedHat 7.2 and would like to switch from using LILO to GRUB. Currently they are both installed, but LILO is being used. Can I just do a grub-install to make it the default or must I uninstall LILO for this to work?

Any other steps involved?

Thanks.

There are no special steps.
Just :
1/ Make SURE that you're /etc/grub.conf \ /boot/grub/menu.lst are configured.
2/ Have a rescue CD / Floppy, just in case ..
3/ run `grub-install /dev/{hard-drive-device}

grub-install for some reason isn't recognizing the drives. I also tried to go into the grub shell and type "root (" then hit tab to see my list of options. There weren't any options. It just kept repeating "root (". I am using scsi hard drives, but this shouldn't matter to grub.

Any ideas why it wouldn't show my drives here?

Thanks
