Hi Robert, after you edited lilo.conf did you run /sbin/lilo before you
rebooted. What lilo does is store its infomation in the boot sector so when
changes are made to the conf file they need to be update on the boot sector
as well and that is why you run /sbin/lilo (as root).
Hope this helps
Mark Hillary

Subject: [expert] 7.2 - Two little annoyances . . . on A7V w/ATA100
Ok here goes:
I have an IBM 30Gig ATA./100 drive on an Asus A7V MB - below is my
partition file from the system.
Problem #1: During install I passed the ide parms for the ATA/100 drive
and all installed well. I installed the lilo bootloader on /dev/hde6
(root) partition and edited the lilo.conf with the necessary append
info. I am using BootMagic 2.0 to boot the system, but I only get LI
during start, so I have to use the bootdisk and pass the ide parms EVERY
boot up . . . I don't care so much about booting from the bootdisk, but I
hate having to type the ide parms everytime I want to boot LM
7.2!!!!! Ideally I would like to boot from the HD using BootMagic and NOT
have to type the ide parms everytime.
Problem #2: When I boot from the floppy, I tried to add the ide parms in
the append line, but it is ignored during boot unless I manually type them
in . . . and I can't get Aurora to start when I boot from the floppy either
(with vga=788 added on the lilo.conf on the floppy)
Any help would be gratefully appreciated!!
Thanks up front!
