Both kernels are the ones that came of the disk. Windows 200o was
installed first the redhat 7.1 the Redhat 7.0.
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-22
That line would be fine. But I am trying to get the images from
another partition it's not in that /boot directory. It's in a /boot
directy but in the hda7 (Redhat 7.0) not in hda5 (Redhat 7.1). All I
can boot into at the moment is hda5 until I can some how work out how to
get the image file to load in lilo.conf file. Thats where I am having
trouble. If you can think of an easier way I should do it please let me
know I'm not affaird to format alla nd start again if it sounds liek
it'll work.
Thanks again.

Your lilo should look something like this:
... Common stuff up top
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-22
label = linux7.0
root = /dev/hda7
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.2-2 (assuming you are running the kernel
that came with the disk)
label = linux7.1
root = /dev/hdaX
The X will be whatever partition you installed RH7.1 on. If it was the
same partition as RH7.0 then that line will be /dev/hda7. To check,
you
can boot up into RH7.0 and run fdisk to see
(fdisk /dev/hda, then press p to print the partitions. The linux
native
types are 83. If you have two type 83 partitions then presumably one
of
them will be hda7. You want the other one (probably hda8 if it was
installed after 7.0)
