I am using SuSE7.3, vanilla full install. When I want to reboot the system, I logout, and click the Shutdown button. That presents me two options - Shutdown or Reboot. To the right of Reboot is a dropdown box. In previous versions of SuSE Linux I could click that dropdown and select one of my LILO options such as WinNT or SuSE Safe mode. Well now in 7.3 that box is still there, but there is nothing in it. I cannot pre-select how I want the system to restart... I have to wait and pick it from the boot menu after the BIOS has doen it's thing.
What option have I missed (messed with?) to empty this menu out? How can I enable it or fill it back up with the LILO options?

What do you get if you do "/sbin/lilo -q", and what do you have in your /opt/kde2/share/config/kdm/kdmrc under the heading [Shutdown] Those two places are the most likely culprits. kdmrc will determine if lilo is to be used at all, and with what map file, and lilo -q is what fills the dropdown with values. If either is incorrect, things will fail regards Anders
