Problems installing LILO
Hello,
I am now trying to install RedHat 6 [from cheap*bytes] and when
reaching the "Installing bootloader" [after the rpms were installed with
no problems] RedHat stops and tells me that it couldn't install the
bootloader [no specific error message] and asks if I want to continue
with the installation.
I have tried a few times, repartitioning my HD as I do so but it failed
always.
I attempted to install LILO after loging in [using a boot disk] but the
installed LILO auto boots linux and doesn't offer the option to boot
Win95 [ one of my partitions ]
Anyone has any ideas ?
Specs:
PI 166mhz / 48RAM
hda 3.2G
hdb 0.5G
/dev/hda1 Linux primary
/dev/hda2 Linux swap
/dev/hda3 DOS >=32 [Here win95 resides]
/dev/hdb1 DOS >=32
None of this are extended partitions. [Should they be ?]
Attached is my /etc/lilo.conf
which auto boots linux instead of offering me options.
Best Regards
Boris Dinkevich
