Hello, I just installed Mandrake 7.1, and it looks great, except one or two issues. The most important is with LILO. When I power up, LILO starts, greets me, telling that it will boot the default image in 5 seconds, but nothing happens. If *I* type linux, LILO boots fine, and the system works great. I have an 8.4 GBYTE HD, partitioned as follows swap hda5 240 MB cyl 0-30 / hda6 300 MB cyl 31-68 /usr hda7 3 GIG following /home/ hda8 4.5 GIG following It was done this way by the installation software. /etc/lilo.conf follows. Any help is appreciated. Thank you, Marco boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b vga=normal default=linux keytable=/boot/us.klt lba32 prompt timeout=50 message=/boot/message image=/boot/vmlinuz-secure label=linux root=/dev/hda6 initrd=/boot/initrd-secure.img read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz label=linux-up root=/dev/hda6 initrd=/boot/initrd.img read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz label=failsafe root=/dev/hda6 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append=" failsafe" read-only ______________________________________________________ Get Your FREE FlashMail Address now at http://www.flashmail.com It's Free, Easy, & Fun !!!
