Check your power management settings in Windoze , set it to when running on
batteries, never suspend etc , also check that you have the correct
partition on your fixed disk to suspend to, this will be at the end of the
disk . and normally 2 megs larger that your ram, also in your bios , set to
never suspend etc on batteries.
If you know how to install lilo correctly and also have a Windoze boot disk.
Try
fdisk /mbr
from a Windoze startup disk to bypass lilo and then try to boot Windoze,
That is if Windoze is on the same partition as Linux, if on a different
partition just make your Windoze partition active under Fdisk.
This will be able to tell you exactly whether the problem lies with your
machine or with the actual OS, I have come across in the past problems
similair to this but only on Microsoft products

Subject: LILO causing reboot when laptop not using mains power
I just installed SuSE 6.2 on a Compaq Presario 1246 laptop running Win98
(and got X working with help from Ray Olszewski - thanks for that!).
However, upon reboot if I choose to boot win98 from the LILO prompt windows
begins to load and then the machine reboots - this carries on until I switch
it
off. This only happens when the laptop is battery powered, not when it's
plugged in.
Any ideas much appreciated,
ashanks.
