I've upgraded from Mandrake 9.1 ro 9.2 RC1 on a Thinkpad A21e laptop.
There were 2 windows partitions: hda1 (actual Windows partition) and hda2
(hidden IBM service DOS partition).
During upgrade, the installer placed the hda2 secondary servicing partition
twice into lilo.conf (labelled windows and windows2), while the hda1
partition was not added. Luckily, it preserved the old entry as windows_old.
The resulting lilo.conf looked like this:
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
vga=791
default=windows
keytable=/boot/us.klt
