Deploying On Server With LILO Boot Loader

CloudLinux can be deployed on servers that don't have grub installed, by installing grub first.

To do that:

Make sure grub and kernel packages are not excluded. Edit file /etc/yum.conf and check exclude= line for presence of kernel* grub*
Backup lilo config file:
```
mv /etc/lilo.conf /etc/lilo.conf.bak
```
Convert to CloudLinux using centos2cl utility as described in http://cloudlinux.com/downloads/index.php

Check grub.conf -- it should be configured automatically:

# cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
default=0
timeout=5

       title CloudLinux Server (2.6.18-294.8.1.el5.lve0.7.33)
       kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-294.8.1.el5.lve0.7.33 root=/dev/sda1  ro
       root (hd0,0)
       initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-294.8.1.el5.lve0.7.33.img
       title linux centos5_64
       kernel /boot/bzImage-2.6.33.5-xxxx-grs-ipv4-64 root=/dev/sda1  ro
       root (hd0,0)

Install grub to master boot record:
```
/sbin/grub-install /dev/sda
```
Reboot and check that you are running CloudLinux. uname -r should show something like: 2.6.18-294.8.1.el5.lve0.7.33
