After doing a fresh install of version 8.0 on my dual hard drive dual boot
machine, I couldn't boot windows, as it
listed it in lilo as /sdb1. Lilo is in my boot sector on hda, by the way.
I changed lilo to:
other = /dev/hda1
label = Windows98
And saved it. Ran lilo at the SU prompt, but I get:
linux:/home/harrycg # lilo
Warning: Int 0x13 function 8 and function 0x48 return different
head/sector geometries for BIOS drive 0x80
Warning: Int 0x13 function 8 and function 0x48 return different
head/sector geometries for BIOS drive 0x81
Added linux *
Added failsafe
Added Windows98
Added memtest86
linux:/home/harrycg #
I am not sure what the warnings mean. I am afraid to restart the system until
I know what it is telling me. My complete lilo.conf file is listed below.
Any ideas?
TIA
