Hi Ravi,

The excerpts were immensely interesting and informative. But I have
a query for you. This is a real time experience, and I did not find any
appropriate answer for the same. I had installed Windoze NT on the
first partition, and Linux on second (2GB partitions) where LILO was
installed. Read posts from mailing lists, help from Mr. S. Krishna and
Linux+NT mini howto, and copied the bootsect file to WinNT, made
corresponding changes in boot.ini file, then when I tried to run Linux
I got a strings of 1 and 0. This as far as I could get was because the
Linux partition could not be accessed. Then I stripped the boot sector
from the floppy, and copied it in the WinNT partition. This time if the
floppy was in the drive the boot was successful, else I got a string of
8 and 0. The hard disk was configured as primary slave.

Now I have a disk configured as primary master, and did the same
thing without any problem. Every partition is booting up normally.

Sorry for the long mail, but any hint for this will be appreciated.

Suvendra

P.S. See I changed the subject ;-)

  Why would re-installing RH help ? Anyway - Read the following relevant
info I snipped off - /usr/src/lilo-0.21/README - if you have access to
this file on some other linux box , fine , or else tell me and I will
upload it to some place so you can download it and read it - i think it
*should* be available someplace if you search hard enough too.
  Other with LILO problems - get the idea - read the docs - they're
