With Windows 98 installed. the partition table looks different at least in my PC. Because windoze 98 does not allow more than one primary partition. The Linux partitions should have started from hda5 and onwards, unless you create a boot partition which is usually hda2. if you could give the exact error Lilo gives, it would be more helpful. And one more thing, in older systems, such as P2, Lilo requires the start of the boot partition (in your case the root partition) to be within 1024 cylinders. This feature is mother board dependant, raher BIOS dependant. Finally ( but not limited to) it could be your /etc/lilo.conf file. -- Goldwyn :o) Dear Luggies , I am facing strange Problem with installation of "RedHat Linux 9.0 ".
