LILO

[Cory Spitz]

Thanks.  Sorry I left off the /etc/lilo.conf file.  Here you go:

[root@spitzcor spitzcor]# cat /etc/lilo.conf
# LILO configuration created by QuickInst 21  Sat Apr 29 14:50:58 EDT
2000

boot = /dev/hda
compact
delay = 5	# optional, for systems that boot very quickly
vga = normal	# force sane state
root = current	# use "current" root
image = /boot/vmlinuz
  label = linux
other = /dev/hda1
  table = /dev/hda
  label = win95

And I've already run /sbin/lilo manually, same problem.

Thanks a lot,
-Cory
