You are running this while in Mandrake; so mount hdc8 so that lilo can get to the kernel. I don't know about putting that boot=/dev/hdc8 in there. I would take that and map=/boot/map out of there as well as the install=/boot/boot.b. Change the first part of the stanza to: image=/mnt/vmlinuz (that is most likely a link to the kernel in /boot) Then mount /dev/hdc8 /mnt And try /sbin/lilo again. I usually just copy the kernel and the System.map from /boot of the second distro into /boot of the one I am using to do lilo. Then my line for all of them is image=/boot/vmlinuz-whatever-it-is.
