We are trying to have a dual boot with W2K. The problem is that after RH installation, LILO does not show the W2K option. No problem, we think, let's boot in linux and insert in lilo.conf the additional entry, but it doesn't work: lilo refuses to upgrade the MBR because it does not see the partition hda5 (were W2K is).
Looking better, we see that hda5 is not mounted at all. So we mkdir /mnt/windows and add a new entry in fstab with appropriate parameters. But now mount /mnt/windows reveals that ntfs is not build into the kernel. We try an insmod ntfs, but the module cannot be located: it's not present in the /lib/modules/.../ directory. :-(
My understanding is that lilo refuses to upgrade the bootloader because it first tries to validate the lilo.conf accessing the partitions there indicated, but in our case fails because there is no ntfs support in the kernel and exits.
It there a way around this mess?
