[ltp] a newbie struggling with LILO

[Katsumi Matsumoto]

Thank you all for the suggestions.  

I was able to boot linux from the RH installation CD in resuce mode.  The 
problem appeared to be the parameter "linear" in lilo.conf.  Typing 'lilo' 
gave me an error message about "device 0x0306" exceeding "1024 cylinder 
limit".  While I did not understand this (will investigate), I changed 
"linear" to "lba32" following the suggestion that accompanied the error 
message, and I was able to install LILO successfully.  I now have a dual 
boot.

For the record, someone suggested that perhaps I "recovered" Windows AFTER 
installing linux, thereby clobbering LILO in MBR.  However, this was not 
the case.  I did Windows first then linux.

Anyway thanks everyone.
