Well, I've got problem installing LILO on /dev/hda3 of my linux roo
partition and booting with XOSL (a nice bootloader)
It doens'nt work. I don't know why, but LILO is being deleted after I
reboot my linux box.
Just for trying I installed Mandrake 8.2 into the same partition and
installed LILO to the same /dev/hda3 and booted again and it worked..
So, I'm wondering why one distribution is not working while the other yes..
can anyone helpme to understand?

I guess it's a hardware problem:
ASUS A7V266-E with Promise RAID controller (not used)
maxtor 40Gb
256 MB ram.
what happens is that Mandrake recognize my hardisk as /dev/hdaE (and
as /dev/hdH the CDROM) while SuSE as /dev/hdA (while as /dev/hdD the CDROM)


thanks a lot,
alessio
