This may be a really stupid suggestion, but this fixed a similar problem I
was having.
I had the dreaded LI startup problem with a large hard drive. So I talked
to some really smart people, and they told me to put LBA32 in lilo.conf.
and still got LI, for several reboots (i used a boot floppy to start up
when the hard drive didn't)
finally, I was told, that after changing lilo.conf, you have to run lilo in
that session to make the changes to the MBR.
Sorry if you already did that, but that's just my best guess from my
experience.

Hi. I'm running Red Hat 7.0 on a dual boot system with Windoz 98 se. Can
someone post a lilo.conf file that will default boot to Windoz? I've tried
several things and they all seem to be ignored.
Thanks. Joe
