Re: [techtalk] Windows won't boot after installing RedHat 7
Heya -- Since you mentioned lilo, I'm assuming that that's what you've got in your MBR. Apologies if I missed it, but have you already posted your /etc/lilo.conf? Your boot manager may not have a stanza for Windows in it. Or, it may be there but be incorrect -- Red Hat 7 does it slightly differently than my Debian does. Also, after you change the config file there you have to rerun /sbin/lilo, and should see output like "Added Linux. Added Windows." or whatever it is that you labeled your stanzas. That will let you know if you have a syntax error in there, at least.

Re: [techtalk] Windows won't boot after RHL7 install
Heya -- > My lilo.conf is perfectly normal and ok. Try adding a line to tell it where to find the Windows partition table: > boot=/dev/hda > map=/boot/map > install=/boot/boot.b > prompt > timeout=50 > message=/boot/message > linear > default=linux > > image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-22 > label=linux > read-only > root=/dev/hda6 > > other=/dev/hda1 > label=dos table=/dev/hda#This tells LILO where the partition table is. These are all on the same physical disk, right? Change this, run /sbin/lilo, (you should see two things listed), and then try rebooting. IIRC, Red Hat 7 has the graphical login, so you should see both choices (linux and dos) in the upper-right corner of your screen the next time you reboot.

Re: [techtalk] LILO problems
Heya -- > I have tried editing the lilo.conf file, but it doesn't seem to be > acknowledging my changes. This is exactly your problem. After editing the lilo.conf, you have to run /sbin/lilo to copy your changes into the master boot record. (The MBR itself is what gets read at boot. So if you don't do this, your changes don't take effect.) It's kinda like kill -HUPing a daemon after you change the configs.
