Hi, My guess is that lilo is not finding your other /boot partition. I'd suggest using a single /boot for both and using subdirectories to separate your different installations. Then adjust lilo.conf to point to those directories, something like boot = /dev/hda vga = normal read-only prompt timeout = 50 image = /boot/61/vmlinuz_2.2.10 root = /dev/hda7 label = 2.2.10 image = /boot/63/vmlinuz_2.2.14 root = /dev/hda9 label = 2.2.14 I'd also recommend some way to keep your lilo.conf files sync'd. Perhaps move it to /boot/lilo/lilo.conf and make /etc/lilo.conf a link to it. Just my 2 bits, Tim

hmmm ...

i could have sworn i had this working before. the partition table is:

/dev/hda5 /boot /dev/hda6 swap /dev/hda7 / /dev/hda8 /boot (second install) /dev/hda9 / (second install)

i have suse 6.1 installed in /hda5 and /hda7, 6.3 install in /hda8 and /hda9, both share the swap partition. lilo is installed in the MBR from the 6.1 install. i did not install lilo in the 6.3 install. my lilo.conf is:

boot = /dev/hda vga = normal read-only prompt timeout = 50 image = /boot/vmlinuz_2.2.10 root = /dev/hda7 label = 2.2.10 image = /boot/vmlinuz_2.2.14 root = /dev/hda9 label = 2.2.14

when i run lilo from the 6.1 install i get this error:

open /boot/vmlinuz_2.2.14: no such file or directory

is this not the correct way to do this?
