that wouldn't (shouldn't) make any difference at all, except that you now have to repeat the "root=" line for every image listed in lilo.conf. values set in the global section of lilo.conf are "inherited" by all the images unless they over-ride them. that's why i put "read-only" in the global section rather than with each image (i know debian does that by default...i've got used to changing it on every debian box i build). > --snip-- > boot=/dev/hda3 > # compact > install=/boot/boot.b > map=/boot/map > vga=normal > delay=20 > image=/vmlinuz > root=/dev/hda3 > label=Linux > read-only > --snip-- try "linear". ---cut here--- boot=/dev/hda3 root=/dev/hda3 linear # compact install=/boot/boot.b map=/boot/map vga=normal delay=100 read-only image=/vmlinuz label=Linux ---cut here--- > Could this be caused by a geometry mismatch?
