I have tried to install win4lin as an upgrade using the downloaded installer. The net effect has been that I cannot run win4lin at all. Let me describe the complete set of events: 1. First, before installing win4lin 3.0, I upgraded my Red Hat 7.0 to Red Hat 7.1. 2. Then, after I checked to be sure Red Hat 7.1 was working, I went ahead with the downloaded upgrade win4lin-install program. It seemed to work fine - that is, I entered my registration, followed the directions, it downloaded a new win4lin and kernel for my Red Hat 7.1, it installed them, and, then, it asked me to reboot. I did. 3. Here it gets a bit interesting. First of all, the default boot was linux not win4lin. As I recall from before, the default boot after installing 2.0 was the win4lin linux. Second, when I tried choosing win4lin at boot time, it simply froze there. When I tried linux, it loaded properly but gave a strange error just after win4lin came up in the boot sequence which said that hdc was reporting 250xxxxxx but its size was actually 250yyyyyy. 4. After the boot finished I could log on and everything except win4lin worked fine. However, when I tried to use win4lin, it said that win4lin driver not loaded or open limit exceeded. (I expected something like this since before I had had to run the win4lin linux at boot time for win4lin to work.) 5. So what was the matter. Something must be wrong with either the /boot files or with the lilo.conf. Here is the contents of /boot: total 4704 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 512 May 13 2000 boot.0300 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5824 Feb 23 13:33 boot.b -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 612 Feb 23 13:33 chain.b lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Jun 21 16:34 kernel.h -> kernel.h-2.4.2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 405 Jun 21 16:34 kernel.h-2.4.2 -rw------- 1 root root 23040 Jun 21 17:05 map -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23108 Feb 23 13:33 message -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21282 Feb 23 13:33 message.ja lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Jun 21 16:34 module-info -> module-info-2.4.2-2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13598 Apr 8 19:57 module-info-2.4.2-2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 640 Feb 23 13:33 os2_d.b lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Jun 22 00:45 System.map -> System.map-2.4.2-2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 410990 Apr 8 19:57 System.map-2.4.2-2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 415367 Jun 9 03:04 System.map-2.4.2-win4lin lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Jan 10 19:46 System.map-pre-win4lin -> System.map-2.2.16-22 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2280836 Apr 8 19:57 vmlinux-2.4.2-2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Jun 21 16:34 vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-2.4.2-2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 781806 Apr 8 19:57 vmlinuz-2.4.2-2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 783275 Jun 9 03:04 win4lin and here is the contents of /etc/lilo.conf: boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b prompt timeout=50 default=linux message=/boot/message linear image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-22 label=linux read-only root=/dev/hda2 other=/dev/hda1 label=dos # Added by NeTraverse for Win4Lin kernel image = /boot/win4lin label = win4lin root = /dev/hda2 This confuses me since it seems to say that the image is the (non-existant) file vmlinuz-2.2.16-2 even though when I boot linux it works just fine and shows that it is version 2.4.2-2.
