noticed I botched that root=/dev/hdb line... didn't notice the root
listing below your table entry (gotta slow down on reading!). I did
manage to find my lilo.conf from my 9.1 install for an example;
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
vga=normal
default="Mandrake9.1"
keytable=/boot/us.klt
prompt
nowarn
timeout=100
message=/boot/message
menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label="Mandrake9.1"
root=/dev/hdb5
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="quiet devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi acpi=off"
vga=788
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-8
label="RedHat9"
root=/dev/hda5
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.20-8.img
append="hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi acpi=off"
vga=788
read-only
other=/dev/hda1
label="Windows2000"
table=/dev/hda
I would say drop the "other=" line and replace it with
"image=/boot/vmlinuz" and remove the "table=" line as well for
starters.
