It seems your clock is still two days ahead. It's monday in Europe, tuesday
in Asia, but not wednesday in America I guess ;-).

You can omit "compact". If you use large IDE disks add "lba32".

"root" is not a general option, but a per image option for linux entries.
Delete it here.
> image = /boot/vmlinuz
> label = linux
Add a "root=/dev/hda<#>" here.

No need to specify the loader, since this is the default.

Make sure the windows partition is bootable (sys c:). Set it's bootable flag
using the "a" command with (linux) fdisk. Unset other bootable flags, also on
the first disk. If you want to recreate the dos bootsector use (dos) "fdisk
/mbr". I am not sure if fdisk uses the right harddisk, so *take*care*. Have a
boot floppy for your linux installation handy.
If you want to use the lilo on /dev/hdb you could add an entry:
other=/dev/hdb
label=lilo2
Make sure the second lilo is installed properly as well. Use the "-C" option
to specify a different config file.
When running lilo use the "-v" option, to get more verbose information, or
even "-v -v" or "-v -v -v". Use "-t" to test (no write).
Bye,
Leonard.
