Wierd Lilo problem

Subject: Wierd Lilo problem

Lilo doesn't seem to like Windows. Now I don't blame it but I do need to
boot it every so often.
LILO version 21.5-1 and 21.5
Kernel 2.2.17 and 2.2.16
Drive is setup all reiserfs except for the Windows parts. Now I saw
something about needing notail on / to work but lilo works just fine if I
comment out the windows sections.
# LILO configuration created by QuickInst 21 Fri Jul 28 08:15:38 EST 2000
boot = /dev/hda
compact
prompt
timeout= 30
delay = 30 # optional, for systems that boot very quickly
vga = normal # force sane state
root = current # use "current" root
image = /boot/vmlinuz
label = linux
image = /boot/safe
label = safe
#other = /dev/hda1
# table = /dev/hda
# label = windows
I've tried commenting out compact no difference. I've tried all the lilo
options to no avail. I had the same problem a few months ago but upgrading
at the time to 21.5 got it to work.
Uncommenting the windows section ends up with:
LILO version 21.5-1, Copyright (C) 1992-1998 Werner Almesberger
Extensions beyond version 21 Copyright (C) 1999-2000 John Coffman
Released 24-Aug-2000 and compiled at 16:31:59 on Sep 30 2000.
Reading boot sector from /dev/hda
Merging with /boot/boot.b
Secondary loader: 11 sectors.
Boot image: /boot/vmlinuz
Setup length is 4 sectors.
Compaction removed 1119 BIOS calls.
Mapped 1157 sectors.
Added linux *
Boot image: /boot/safe
Setup length is 4 sectors.
Compaction removed 1110 BIOS calls.
Mapped 1147 sectors.
Added safe
Boot other: /dev/hda1, on /dev/hda, loader /boot/chain.b
Compaction removed 0 BIOS calls.
Fatal: Hole found in map file (alloc_page)
Removed temporary file /boot/map~
Any help would be great. I guess I could boot windows with a boot disk but
lilo is much nicer.
Thanks
Nick
