So instead it just updated lilo.conf (I saw date change) and rebooting goes into lilo mode. So combining all the answers, I went into /boot/grub and edited menu.lst to add the proper memory setting. Tried running ./install.sh but it did not work because of permissions. chmod700 the file (don't want users touching it), and ran it just fine. I tried running /usr/sbin/grub but it seemed to only go into a menu mode. Quit out of there, and rebooted... everything is good again. Thanks... Dan.

Edit the file /etc/boot/menu.lst and run the install-script in that same directory. Especially if you build your own kernel with initial ramdisk, you'll have a problem as drakboot builds wrong menu.lst entries and messes up.

Dan. use DrakBoot in DrakConf.
[expert] reset to use Grub instead of lilo
Since I had to change the memory setting from 126 to 124 (more for onboard video), I changed lilo.conf to set mem=126M, ran /sbin/lilo and now lilo shows up on bootup. So how do I reset things to use Grub instead ? (and with my senith monitor problems, please give me a command line answer, not X). Thanks... Dan.
