Hello all. I have Linux Mandrake OS 7.0 Complete. I have Bootmagic
installed and Partition magic. The bootmagic screen gives me a choice to
go into Windows 95 or Linux. When I choose Windows it boots fine but
Linux just gives me a black screen that says preparing to open Linux and
just sits

Go to this web site:
http://www.mail-archive.com/newbie@linux-mandrake.com/
and do a search on "LILO Boot Magic".
I'm sure you'll find the solution there, if no one from this list is
able to help.
I wish I could; I do know that you would probably be better off
uninstalling Boot Magic,
first you have to make sure...that "lilo" is installed on your hard
drive,,,that has linux on it...then lilo has to be configured to boot
linux first...not windows...
then bootmagic...must be configured correctly...
I have partitionmagic 5.0 it comes with bootmagic...
and this is how I have it,
Marciaboot your computer with the floppy that you created
created during the Linux installation. Login as root. In a
console type:
/sbin/lilo
The next time you boot the computer you should be able to
choose Linux from BootMagic successfully.

Hello all. I
Partition Magic has partitioned my HD supposedly. That was done first.
Thank you for your help.Marcia
I will check out the website, thank you. Your suggestion sounds good. If
this bootmagic thing does not work I will do what you suggest. Thank you
for your help. Marcia
Marciasure, during the Linux install you were asked to
supply a password for the root account, so when the system
asks for a login name type root and when it asks for a
password type the root password you supplied during the
install.
