Hi ,
i am refering to the lilo problems posted recently on the list linux-help:
i thought that the linear option or the more recent lba32 are allowing
the user to circumvent the BIOS restriction problems and allow to access
more than 1024 cylinders of the disk ??
in any case the following partition table and lilo.conf file allow
dual booting win98 and athena-linux on my machine with
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 153 1228941 b Win95 FAT32
/dev/hda2 154 525 2988090 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 154 156 24066 83 Linux
/dev/hda6 157 173 136521 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda7 174 525 2827408+ 83 Linux
boot=/dev/hda5
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14-5.0
label=linux
read-only
root=/dev/hda7
other=/dev/hda1
table = /dev/hda
label = win98
this works however i have a small hard disk ...
thank you very much for your time
georgios
