I triple boot, and to avoid problems I never install lilo on the second linux install.
what I do is install the second OS without installing lilo or any boot loader. ( under an expert install )
then I copy 4 files from the /boot partition of the second to the first /boot partition
I run two versions of 9.0 so here is what's in the /boot of the first one on hda5
boot.0300 initrd.img@ message-text
config@ kernel.h@ System.map@
config-2.4.19-16amdk kernel.h-2.4.19-16amdk System.map-2.4.19-16mdk
config-2.4.19-16mdk kernel.h-2.4.19-16mdk us.klt
grub/ map vmlinuz@
initrd-2.4.19-16amdk.img message@ vmlinuz-2.4.19-16amdk
initrd-2.4.19-16mdk.img message-graphic vmlinuz-2.4.19-16mdk
notice that all I had to do was rename each of the new files by adding an " a" before mdk.
now in the /etc/lilo.conf of the first OS on hda I added the following for the OS on hdb
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.19-16amdk
label=90
root=/dev/hdb5
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.19-16amdk.img
append="quiet devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi"
vga=788
read-only
then I simply did lilo at a root prompt and rebooted and there it was , useable and all .
Hope this helps
