Thanks, this is very insteresting. I had assumed that multi-boot
NT/linux could be done ony from lilo, now I learn that it can be done

initrd or are feeding kernel parameters).If this is
your case just uninstall lilo
Raffaele,
did you install lilo on your root / partition or on
your master partition?
Do you want to dual boot your machine or only mount
your ntfs partition? If you want to mount it you have
to compile the ntfs module at least and then go with
modprobe or insmod. That doesn't depend upon Lilo.
That's what I thought, and I did exactly as you write. But, running lilo
to update the bootloader, we got the error message partition not found
or something alike, and the bootloader was not changed.
Thanks for the link, I was quite surprised seeing that ntfs is not
included in RH. I guess MDK
Leonardo,
we installed lilo on the first sector of the /boot partition, as
reccomended by the RH help for NT-linux coexistence on the same disk (in
case of W95/98-linux coexistance it reccomended to put lilo in MBR
instead), but I admit I did not understand why.
What's this difference between
