Hi,

Thank you Aduanne Carter / Dee . Now my Lilo works fine. Well, I removed
the Linear option and reconfigured Lilo.

Thank you once again.

I don't think you can activate a logical drive within an extended
partition, only the extended partition.  I wouldn't do that.  I think
your problem may be that you have the "linear" option enabled in your
lilo config in yast.  Disable this option and reconfigure and you should
be ok!
