RE: [newbie] lilo frustration!
I finally was able to change the default to windows, but it should have been easier. First I opened MCC then selected the big boot icon, got a screen which had a lilo configure button (been there, done that), then another screen containing a drop down of boot devices. Nothing yet about a default boot OS. There are no other buttons on this screen that indicate other windows or panels. BUT just for kicks, I just pressed the OK button (which not what users do unless they made a change). OH NO, it wants to install another package! What the H, I gave the CD it wanted. After installation it showed me another screen with a boot list containing windows. I selected windows, which gave me a final screen to set windows as default. Rebooted, and windows was first on the lilo boot screen! The original install must have gliched but it didn't tell me.

Tony. yes...under the BOOT Section. its not hard to find.. there will be a screen after the BOOT Section, goto the LILO or boot options screen (its a button IIRC) and in there is a dropdown list ofhte options lilo gives you. The default is linux to boot...change that to the windows section uncheck the Unsafe box.

RE: [newbie] lilo frustration!
I tried several ways, I'm sure MDK was one of them. I think MDK took me thru several lilo configuration windows, but none that allowed windows to be selected. There was one window that displayed a list (6 radio button choices) from which to select a default, but each selection was exactly the same, something like, /dev/hda... The first one was selected. Maybe I should have selected the button in the same position as 'windows' is on the lilo boot display. 6 choices, all the same doesn't seem right to me. mike -Original Message- From: Tony S.

[newbie] lilo frustration!
I am trying unsuccessfully to make windows the default boot in lilo. I looked all over linuxconf and could not find the right switch. I read that you could edit lilo.conf directly, so I did. But when I ran lilo here is what I got. * [EMAIL PROTECTED] sbin]# lilo Added linux Added linux-nonfb Added failsafe Added windows * Fatal: Kernel doesn't support initial RAM disks Is the error referencing the windows entry or the one after it? How can I fix it? Did I make a bad choice during installation? mike Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
RE: [newbie] No sound
Just to follow up, it seems there were two problems. I checked the syslog and found that the cs46xx driver (suggested by the install prog) issued several errors during boot. syslog recommended using cs4232. I changed drivers and after reboot, syslog showed no errors, but still no sound. Then I uncheck 'Mute All' in Amux (or something like that), and all is well.
