You're still using lilo ? I wasn't sure that still even existed.

You have to run the lilo command after you change files or anything like that, since lilo is too primitive to load a config file on boot. It reads the config file when you run lilo and saves offsets somewhere else, so it can just read from raw disk sectors on boot.

NAME

       systemd-efi-boot-generator - Generator for automatically mounting the EFI System Partition used by the current boot to /boot

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-efi-boot-generator

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-efi-boot-generator is a generator that automatically creates mount and automount units for the EFI System Partition (ESP), mounting
       it to /boot. Note that this generator will execute no operation on non-EFI systems, on systems where the boot loader does not communicate
       the used ESP to the OS, on systems where /boot is an explicitly configured mount (for example, listed in fstab(5)) or where the /boot mount
       point is non-empty. Since this generator creates an automount unit, the mount will only be activated on-demand, when accessed.

       systemd-efi-boot-generator implements the generator specification[1].

SEE ALSO

       systemd(1), systemd.mount(5), systemd.automount(5), systemd-gpt-auto-generator(8), gummiboot(8), fstab(5)
