lilo.conf?

[Ronald K. Wechter]

In my experiences Ive noticed that the simplest answer is usuall the
solution.  After you made the changes to the linux.conf file did you run
lilo before rebooting?  Dont take offense to this answer but I know when I
was setting up my machine a while back, mind you it was like 2am, I forgot
to run lilo after making changes.  Because of that I wasted like 3 hours!!!
Ill NEVER make that mistake again.

Also try this link it may help -- http://www.lugor.org/sig/newbie/lilo/

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
