Interesting as I haven't had a single problem with my system when it was dual boot or even now with triple boot. I have two machines currently using lilo, one with linux and NT, the other with two different distros of linux and NT. The system I'm on boots NT or win95 from hda and linux from hdb. The other system boots from hda totally now. Perhaps it's a hardware related problem? If so it'd be a bit harder for the programmers to localize without duplicating the problem...
Anyway I had to resort to making a boot floppy with the kernel on it. as lilo is a very unstable product. I have had numerous problems with it over the past 3 years. My problems have been isolated to dual/triple/etc. boot systems, where the linux kernel was not on the first drive or not on the first partition of the first drive. I don't believe lilo gets that much attention due to the fact that once the 'developers' get their system to boot satisfactorily, lilo is no longer on their minds.
Good Luck, jpg
