Hello,

        I am now trying to install RedHat 6 [from cheap*bytes] and when
reaching the "Installing bootloader" [after the rpms were installed with
no problems] RedHat stops and tells me that it couldn't install the
bootloader [no specific error message] and asks if I want to continue
with the installation.

I have tried a few times, repartitioning my HD as I do so but it failed
always.

I attempted to install LILO after loging in [using a boot disk] but the
installed LILO auto boots linux and doesn't offer the option to boot
Win95 [ one of my partitions ]

Anyone has any ideas ?

Specs:

PI 166mhz / 48RAM

hda 3.2G
hdb 0.5G

/dev/hda1  Linux primary
/dev/hda2  Linux swap
/dev/hda3  DOS >=32  [Here win95 resides]
/dev/hdb1  DOS >=32  

None of this are extended partitions. [Should they be ?]

Attached is my /etc/lilo.conf
which auto boots linux instead of offering me options.

Best Regards
Boris Dinkevich

delay = 5       # optional, for systems that boot very quickly
vga = normal    # force sane state
root = current  # use "current" root
image = /boot/vmlinuz
