Thanks for responding Bruce.
Running the generate_os_chooser script marks os-chooser as bootable. I tried switching the boot script lines, but this only affects which os is booted when space isn't held down at startup. Pressing space still doesn't boot into the other os. I also tried moving all the files from suseboot to the top level of the boot partition, but this had no perceivable effect. I'm not sure I understand your last suggestion, though. Do you refer to the image = vmlinux part, and that it should be changed to image = hd:7,/boot/vmlinux for the linux label.
That all sounds a little strange. I created a lilo for ppc, its currently beta software, so be careful. It can be found at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/powerpc/ In your case point the boot= value to the partition that contains the suseboot folder. Point the other= value to your real boot partition. Modify the /etc/lilo.conf until it fits and run `lilo`. It will create a new folder "linuxboot" on the boot partition and mark it bootable. If it still doesnt work, paste the output of pdisk -l /dev/hda and proably the lilo output. lilo > output 2>&1 Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...
