problem with lilo & dual boot
hello, ive got a problem duel booting linux with XP.
ive got linux on hda, and XP on hdc (there was some problem with them being on the same cable), however when lilo gives me the boot options and i try to load XP, it just sits there. maybe you can help correct the lilo boot config file
[HTML]# LILO configuration file
# generated by 'liloconfig'
#
# Start LILO global section
boot = /dev/hda
message = /boot/boot_message.txt
prompt
timeout = 150
# Override dangerous defaults that rewrite the partition table:
change-rules
reset
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x256
vga = 773
# Normal VGA console
# vga = normal
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x64k
# vga=791
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x32k
# vga=790
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x256

# VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x32k
# vga=784
# VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x256
# vga=769
# End LILO global section
# Windows bootable partition config begins
other = /dev/hdc
label = Windows
table = /dev/hdc
# Windows bootable partition config ends
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/hda1
label = Linux
read-only
vga=771
# Linux bootable partition config ends[/HTML]
if i remove the linux HD, the windows HD will load automatically, so i dont think its a problem with the xp install, just that lilo is not pointing to the right place i think.
