What I would like to do is be able to boot either SUSE or REDHAT. However, I can not get lilo to work. I keep getting error in the configuration file. It appears that is does not like having 2 partitions with linux. I have /dev/sda2 loaded with REDHAT and /dev/sda10 loaded with SUSE.
Unfortunately, more information is needed to diagnose the problem in the case of the common /boot directory. An alternative way is to install the primary boot loader of the SuSE lilo into /dev/sda10 (not into the MBR) and use other = /dev/sda10 label = SuSE_Linux in RedHat's lilo.conf. In this case, RedHat's lilo (in the MBR of /dev/sda) will call the SuSE's lilo (in /dev/sda10). -- Alexandr.Malusek@imv.liu.se
