Hi. I've got an problem with the lilo. Now I've got on my machine Slackware 10.1 and windows XP. Before I install Slack I've used Fedora Core 4. When I have installed Slack I repartitioned the disks with cfdisk. I mark the boot partition (/dev/hda3) as bootable . And then Install this partition with the lable /boot. So when I boot my machine it boot's the grub in command line type, but I want that my machine boot Lilo. So I boot Slack with the CD-rom and change the /etc/lilo.conf file in this:

Code:

boot="/dev/hda3"

lba32



prompt

timeout="1200"

root=/dev/hda4

vga="791"



image="/boot/vmlinuz"

        label="vmlinuz"

        root="/dev/hda4"

        read-only



image="/boot/vmlinuz-ide-2.4.31"

        label="2.4.31"

        root="/dev/hda4"

        read-only



image="/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage"

        label="Linux_Compiled"

        root="/dev/hda4"

        read-only

        optional



other=/dev/hda1

        label="NT"

image="/dev/hda1"

        root="/dev/hda4"

The partition table:

Code:

Device Boot      Start        End      Blocks  Id  System

/dev/hda1              1        4671    37519776    7  HPFS/NTF          prim    c: in XP

/dev/hda2            4672      19308  117571702+  f  W95 Ext'd (LBA)                  

/dev/hda3  *      19917      19929      104422+  83  Linux            log      /boot

/dev/hda4          19309      19916    4883760  83  Linux            prim          /

/dev/hda5            4672      16170    92365686    b  W95 FAT32    log    my d: in XP

/dev/hda6          16171      16413    1951866  82  Linux swap      log    /swap

/dev/hda7          16414      19308    23254056  83  Linux            prim  this is /home

and then I entered the command /sbin/lilo -v -v -v to confirm the changes in the config file. Then I rebooted the machine and it was the same as at firs time I booted the machine. Then I have uninstalled lilo with lilo -U and installed it with command lilo, but it still didn't work. So I think that I have to install lilo in the MBR. Because in the MBR is now installed grub. But I don't know how to do it so that will work. So please help me to solve this problem!!!
