But in my case, I wasn't able to use it. I issued the command "lilo -R 'rLwc?:2630-std-def-15'", but after a reboot the kernel that was booted was still the default one, not the chosen one. My /etc/lilo.conf is attached. The specified label does exist indeed: [root@localhost ~]# strace -e trace=file -fF lilo -R 'rLwc?:2630-std-def-15' execve("/sbin/lilo", ["lilo", "-R", "rLwc?:2630-std-def-15"], [/* 41 vars */]) = 0 access("/etc/ld.so.preload", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/lib/libdevmapper.so.1.00", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/lib/libblkid.so.1", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/lib/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/lib/libuuid.so.1", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/etc/lilo.conf", O_RDONLY) = 3 stat64("/dev/.devfsd", 0xbfd939a4) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/boot/map", O_RDWR) = 4 Process 16936 detached [root@localhost ~]# fgrep -2 'rLwc?:2630-std-def-15' /etc/lilo.conf image="/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30-std-def-alt15" initrd="/boot/initrd-2.6.30-std-def-alt15.img" label="rLwc?:2630-std-def-15" root="UUID=88f85e96-c860-4402-90a3-ede10bae1661" read-only [root@localhost ~]# 125700 1 imz 2011-09-27 00:44:40 +0400 However, for another simpler label, it worked: "lilo -R ALTLinux". 125704 2 imz 2011-09-27 04:09:50 +0400 So, the workaround for this problem is to create a menu entry in /etc/lilo.conf with a simpler label. As I did: image="/boot/vmlinuz-record" label="record" initrd="/boot/initrd-record.img" root="UUID=88f85e96-c860-4402-90a3-ede10bae1661" read-only The specified files are symlinks to the kernel being tested. "lilo -R record" does work. 125705 3 imz 2011-09-27 04:12:38 +0400 Perhaps, the problem is with the length of the label (similarly to https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22616 ), or perhaps the problem is with the special symbols like "?"... 272167 4 rider 2025-09-09 15:30:16 +0300 ветка давно не поддерживается 5124 2011-09-26 23:39:04 +0400 2011-09-26 23:39:04 +0400 /etc/lilo.conf
