That's what it should > have said. If it Yes, when running LILO it returns: Added Linux* I don't remember if the asterisk was before or after the 'Linux', but it appeared to work just fine. When I set up this system, I opted to go with GRUB as my bootloader since I heard good things about it, and it appeared to be the new bootloader of choice for Red Hat. It was only when that failed to work that I decided to try using LILO since I was more familiar with that and 7.2 appeared to install both it and GRUB. I am not trying to use both. I will go with whichever one I can get to work! In response to a previous reply, the NT bootloader is out of the picture. Let me try to clarify things. Before I installed RH 7.2 I had a two drive system. A 3GB drive was the master drive on the primary IDE channel and it had NT and its bootloader on it. The second drive was an 8.4GB drive that was the master device on the secondary IDE channel and it had Red Hat 7.1 on it with LILO installed at the beginng of the drive. This disk is now the master on the primary IDE channel and the 3GB disk is removed and long gone. Before installing Rh 7.2 I added a new ATA 100 controller and two new drives that are connected to this card (I chose to mount them as /max1 and /max2). The BIOS on this card detects and identifies these drives fine, and the BIOS on the motherboard detects the 8.4GB drive (/dev/hda) correctly. Everything works as it should when the system boots. I just cannot boot from anything but a floppy. After the system boots I ran fdisk /dev/hda and looked at the partition table. It looked OK to me. I am not at this problem machine at the moment, but I believe it was /dev/hda1 that was flagged with an asterisk to indicate it was a bootable partition and it is what I was mounting as /boot. > So just muck with your jumpers and bios. 10 to 1 > that's where your problem is.
