here is the situation. I have 2 hardrives one with linux(hde) and one with XP (hdf). lilo is installed to the first hardrive and linux works fine but all i see when i try to bot into XP in "lilo loading windows" and nothing happens after that .

here is my lilo setup:

message = /boot/message
timeout = 80
prompt
default = Linux
boot = /dev/hde

image = /boot/vmlinuz
label = Linux
initrd = /boot/initrd
optional
root = /dev/hde3
vga = 0x317
append = "splash=silent desktop resume=/dev/hdf2 showopts"

image = /boot/vmlinuz
label = Failsafe
initrd = /boot/initrd
optional
root = /dev/hde3
vga = normal
append = "showopts ide=nodma apm=off acpi=off noresume nosmp noapic maxcpus=0 3"

other = /dev/hdf2
label = winxp

I know i'm missing something in the winxp section.


any suggestions ?

Try adding the "table" clause. Good luck with it. After you change lilo.conf, be sure to also run (as root) /sbin/lilo in order for your changes to take effect. -- J.W.

other = /dev/hdf2
label = winxp
table = /dev/hdf

i tryed that, but i still get the same thing. " windows booting " and im stuck at that
