Larry,
OK, here's the state of things:
1) I never rebooted. The failure happened immediately after hitting Y on the
keyboard. I think that the install never happened and it never did anything.
2) The machine is remote on the network with no monitor. I can't choose a
specific kernel at boot time, short of editing lilo.conf and rerunning lilo
if I want to, which is what I do. I can drag is out of the garage, if
necessary. I am doing the installation via an xterm which worked on 2.2.14.
3) The file /usr/bin/install-win4lin.sh exists. I suspect it's left over
from my 2.2.14 installation, but I don't know for sure. It is dated Jan. 1,
which is about the time I got around to upgrading to Win4Lin-Rev-2.0 under
2.2.14. (The licenses came out on 12/15. I didn't mess with it right away.)
4) /etc/lilo.conf still has a Win4Lin option in it. I suspect that it was
not removed by NeTraverse's removal scripts, but I do not know this for
sure. Default boot is still 2.2.16 following my kernel build last night.
5) There's nothing in the /opt directory....
6) There is a file called win4lin in /boot dated Mar. 29, 2000. I suspect
that this was from my 2.2.14 installation, but I do not know for sure. I'm
not clear whether this is the kernel that used to boot, and wasn't removed,
or was this some other file.
Here's the /boot directory contents:

ANY THOUGHTS??????

Did this happen?

Look in this script and make sure that there's a line in it that
describes your kernel. Also, while you're at it, check /boot and see
if there is the standard kernel you put there and a second one which
will match the lilo nomenclature for the win4lin boot item.
Hmm...this just jogged my brain a bit. When you rebooted, did you
explicitly tell lilo you wanted win4lin? The auto script adds the
stuff to lilo but it doesn't set it up as the default so if you simply
let lilo do its default thing you're still running the unpatched
2.2.16 kernel. Before you do anything, do a reboot and when the lilo
prompt comes up, hit a tab. You should see both your default linux
boot and a new win4lin. type win4lin and then see if you can get any
joy from that script.
Hope this helps.
Cheers --- Larry
