Hi. I have installed whax as a duel boot with winxp. But i have a problem in lilo with only whax showing. You can read here to understand better:

I have posted under kai. Please help!

by the way, this is how my lilo looks now:

boot = /dev/hda
prompt
timeout = 20
change-rules
reset
vga = normal
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = current
label = whax
read-write

Thanks!

other = /dev/hda1
label = winXP
table = /dev/hda

didnt work...

That's how my Windows entry in LILO looked. Did you run lilo after adding it?

Uhm. I saved settings. And i just typed nano lilo.conf and the settings were there/ But when i reboot its the same problem. Only whax...

Yes, but did you run the lilo command (as root) after editing your lilo.conf file?

hallo! It just worked out fine. Thanks for your help anyway. You meant: /sbin/lilo right? *im so happy* hehe...Thought i wasted my xp partition somehow during the install of whax. But everything works fine..

(thanks to whax forum)
