If you try and configure LILO via Yast you are right, it WILL NOT install on hde. However, if you edit the /etc/lilo.conf file directly, you can get round this. Look for the line which says boot=/dev/hda and change it to boot=/dev/hde . Then save the file and re-run /sbin/lilo and you should be right.
That's what I tried next, thinking that I had discovered the Holy Grail. Alas, the LiLO prompt came up all right, choosing 2 (= boot Linux) booted linux, but choosing 1 (booting Windows) filled the screen with a nice list og 0 and I... I first tried, fdisk /mbr, to no avail, then tried to copy the backup copy of the fat /boot/boot.0.200 back to the MBR (as advised in the LILO Howto), and blew the fat altogether, and was left to reinstalling everything. So clearly, this does not work. fx -- ______________________ Courtesy of SuSE Linux Kernel 2.2.16 (why worry?) <blockquote TYPE=CITE>If you try and configure LILO via Yast you are right, it WILL NOT install on hde.
