Hi,
While poking around Google I found a link for an automated Kernel build
and installation script someone has written at
http://freshmeat.net/projects/ik/?topic_id=147
More details at http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue75/piszcz.html
The author claims that the script accurately determines the last bootloader
used to boot the current running kernel. However it detects only grub and lilo.
I looked at the script and the logic is -
1) If lilo config is present and grub config is absent then bootloader = lilo
2) If lilo config is absent and grub config is present then bootloader = grub
3) if lilo config is present and grub config is present then
if "cat /proc/cmdline" contains the string "BOOT_IMAGE"
then bootloader = lilo
else bootloader = grub
Regards,
Moinak.

Actually in mine i overwrote LILO with GRUB and currently
GRUB exists.
So it seems WE are still unaware of pointing current
bootloader, isnt it?
