I am still having problems installing lilo and creating boot disks with
RH5.1. I ended up blowing away my linux partitions on hdc and reformating
partitions on hda. However, before doing that I reinstalled RH5.0 and
rebooted. Lilo installed fine and I was able to boot to DOS and linux. Once
that was done I istalled RH5.1 and changed the partitions. For some reason
though I could still not create boot disks (I was able to create boot disks
from the CD-ROM later) or install lilo. #?!$%!!!! 2 hours and I am back
where I started or at least that is what I thought. Fortunately though,
I get the lilo prompt and I am able to get to Win95 and linux. Why? What
also confuses me is why I get to RH5.1 and it says kernel 2.0.31? RH5.1
uses kernel 2.0.34 and 2.0.31 is nowhere to be found. Is this
a stupid newbie question? Also, there is no lilo.conf, anywhere. What makes
this work? What do I change to make linux boot the 2.0.34 kernel?

All help is greatly appreciated!
