The problem is not with loadlin. loadlin merely calls the ker-
nel (on a M$ partition) to do the loading job. The decompress-
ion of the kernel is from the kernel code itself and is not in
any way a function of loadlin. Please take the following steps
and see where things go wrong:
o Boot into Linux using your boot disk/ rescue disk
o Go to /boot, and check the kernel image
o rdev vmlinuz-x.y.zzz (and see where it is poined). It should
point to the root partition (or boot partition if seperate).
o If pointed elsewhere, correct it with:
rdev vmlinuz-x.y.zzz /dev/hdxN
o Mount your M$ partition (probably /dev/hda1)
o cp vmlinuz-x.y.zzz /mnt/point/vmlinuz.new
(ensure 8.3 filename, loadlin is MS-DOS software of '97 vin-
tage and cannot handle long filenames).
o Edit your config.sys (or autoexec.bat) wherever you are fir-
ing your dual boot from, and point loadlin to this file. The
rest should be automatic.

Sub : Changing default OS under LILO LOST #182
Edit /etc/lilo.conf. Put a line in /etc/lilo.conf:
default=oslabel # where oslabel is label the preferred OS
Then, Do: /sbin/lilo -v
Now next time you start lilo, default OS will alter.
