That's too bad. That hasn't been my experience, and I wish I knew how to
help you with it. With my RedHat setup, I've used LILO to boot into DOS as
my default choice, although I've also set it up to do the opposite --
neither of these options cause me problems.
One thing I've noticed, though, is that to switch back and forth between
Linux and DOS, it's best for me to properly shut down whichever OS I'm in
and turn my machine completely off. Otherwise, my video setting degrades to
monochrome. Sometimes it doesn't. To be on the safe side, I usually turn
the machine completely off. Of course, you can work with DOS text files in
the DOS partition from within a Linux session -- but to operate DOS programs
from within Linux, you have to set up DOSEMU (which I haven't done, nor do I
need to).
