With the older (7.0 or lower) version, I can set which option to boot in Lilo, but the new 7.1 does not allow me to? Any solution as it's default to the 2.2 kernel and I have to 'down arrow' to pick the 2.4 everytime, and worst, if I missed, I ended up with restart. :( Suggestion? idea on how? Thanks Dennis/sg

You can modify LILO so that the 2.4 kernel is listed first. You can do this in Yast. Nevada
This is what I did right now, but with so many workstations in office, it's tedious to do so. Any other suggestions? Dennis/sg

You can edit /etc/lilo.conf. Lilo boots by default the first entry it finds. So the following boots kernel 2.4.0 by default, but has options for Windows for kernel 2.2.18. Change the order of entries in your /etc/lilo.conf. Don't try to use this code. # End LILO global Section # image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.0 root = /dev/hda7 label = linux append = "ide0=dma" # switch on UDMA # other = /dev/hda1 label = win table = /dev/hda # image = /boot/vmlinuz root = /dev/hda7 label = linux-2.2 append = "ide0=dma" # switch on UDMA On Sat, 31 Mar 2001, Dennis wrote:

2 solutions : First : you can edit your lilo.conf and put in first of the images lists the one you want to boot by defaults ; Second : edit tyour lilo.conf and put befor the images list the line : default = name_of_your_preferred_image Then run /sbin/lilo ans it will be ok for your needs.

This has helped me as well. Now how do I change the wait time. It loads to quickly, and I would like to incease the delay default. Francis Allouchery wrote:

You set this with the 'delay' option in /etc/lilo.conf. The number after the equals sign is the number of tenths of seconds to wait. For example 'delay=10' would mean that LILO would wait 1 second for input, while 'delay=80' would mean LILO would wait 8 seconds. This is a global option, so comes before all the image sections. See 'man lilo.conf' for more details.

I think this is the best solution. Make sure is goes in the global section of lilo.conf...
Then run /sbin/lilo ans it will be ok for your needs.

Hi Francis, Thanks for your direction, I got the second solution working perfectly (with minimum effort and it's what I'm looking for). Have a good day. Dennis/sg
