Hia, I went and stole back my SuSE 5.2 from a friend. And I went and installed a mini SuSE system on the SCSI /dev/sda HardDrive and installed LILO on its /MBR and had it point to Linux and win98- which the win98 is on the IDE, and the SCSI HD is the boot disk. It had absolutly no problems. Windows is too stupid to know the SCSI was being read first(booted from) when picking win98 LILO from the SCSI. So having no problems I installed everything and the kitchen sink. ;) (still waiting for my SuSE 5.3 disks) Anyways here is my boot.msg from /var/log/ if you like to look at something.. Everything is smooth and I built a new kernel from 2.0.35-suse (get this in 2minutes 23 seconds w/ a PII 400 :P) wow..never built a kernel on a intel cpu before..of this size. Well if you like more info, I will ! Just been up all night monkeying around to think full of what ya might ask. So I'll leave that up to you Steven Udell hettar@teleport.com sudell@teleport.com</PRE> <PRE> Loaded 3717 symbols from /usr/src/linux/System.map.
