Re: [Plug] Dual boot, lilo problem.


Hi there,

My lilo.conf looks like:

boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-15
     label=linux
     root=/dev/hda6
     read-only

My fdisk( in linux) partions look like:

/dev/hda1 HPFS/NTFS  bootable
     hda2 Extended
     hda5 HPFS/NTFS  bootable
     hda6 Linux
     hda7 Linux Swap

The strange thing is hda6 which is the linux partion in the lili.conf file
is not marked bootable, but works fine.

If I add:

label=NT
root=/dev/hda5

The lilo complains saying that the label NT already exists ...

This problem started after I upgraded from RH5.2 to 6.0 if that had my
significance, IDNK ...

Bye,
