. Hope someone can help me solve the problem I have with lilo.conf and trying to boot up with the win4lin kernel and start 'win' on my new Mandriva 6 installation. Everything in the Mandriva installation seems to work fine, but when I type 'win' at the command line, win4lin and win98 start, but then immediately after the win4lin/win98 window opens, I see a pop-up dialog box within the win98 window within 2-3 seconds that reads as follows: Merge Winsock2 Configured. Shutting down Windows to complete installation. Please wait. ... and then that window just closes. Below are the most recent lilo.conf file contents and in the /boot directory contents shown below that. Can anyone tell me what changes I need to make to get this to work? joe@actionline.com == lilo.conf ... looks like this: (/boot directory is shown below this) # File generated by DrakX/drakboot # WARNING: do not forget to run lilo after modifying this file default="linux" boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map keytable=/boot/us.klt menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw prompt nowarn timeout=100 message=/boot/message image=/boot/vmlinuz label="linux" root=/dev/hda6 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="resume=/dev/hda2" image=/boot/vmlinuz label="failsafe" root=/dev/hda6 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="failsafe resume=/dev/hda2" other=/dev/hdb1 label="windows" table=/dev/hdb map-drive=0x80 to=0x81 map-drive=0x81 to=0x80 image=/boot/win4lin label="win4lin" root=/dev/hda6 initrd=/boot/initrd-win4lin.img append="resume=/dev/hda2" image=/boot/win4lin-2.6.12-12mdk label="win4lin-2612-12" root=/dev/hda6 initrd=/boot/initrd-win4lin-2.6.12-12mdk.img append="resume=/dev/hda2" [joe@localhost etc]$ == /boot directory looks like this: -rw-r--r-- 1 root 1608520 Sep 9 2005 vmlinuz-2.6.12-12mdk -rw-r--r-- 1 root 639316 Sep 9 2005 System.map-2.6.12-12mdk -rw-r--r-- 1 root 71299 Sep 9 2005 config-2.6.12-12mdk -rw-r--r-- 1 root 254766 Sep 12 2005 message-graphic -rw-r--r-- 1 root 1608539 Sep 13 2005 win4lin-2.6.12-12mdk -rw-r--r-- 1 root 640831 Sep 13 2005 System.map.win4lin-2.6.12-12mdk drwxr-xr-x 2 root 4096 Jan 7 16:06 grub/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 20 Jan 7 16:14 vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-2.6.12-12mdk lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 23 Jan 7 16:14 initrd.img -> initrd-2.6.12-12mdk.img -rw-r--r-- 1 root 115694 Jan 7 16:14 initrd-2.6.12-12mdk.img -rw-r--r-- 1 root 256 Jan 7 16:15 us.klt -rw-r--r-- 1 root 116 Jan 7 16:15 message-text lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 15 Jan 7 16:15 message -> message-graphic -rw-r--r-- 1 root 512 Jan 7 16:15 boot.0300 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 23 Jan 7 23:44 System.map -> System.map-2.6.12-12mdk -rw-r--r-- 1 root 695 Jan 7 23:44 kernel.h-2.6.12-12mdk lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 20 Jan 8 00:54 win4lin -> win4lin-2.6.12-12mdk lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 31 Jan 8 00:54 initrd-win4lin.img -> initrd-win4lin-2.6.12-12mdk.img -rw------- 1 root 131072 Jan 8 00:54 initrd-win4lin-2.6.12-12mdk.img -rw------- 1 root 349184 Jan 8 00:54 map lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 19 May 11 11:49 config -> config-2.6.12-12mdk lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 27 May 11 11:49 kernel.h -> /boot/kernel.h-2.6.12-12mdk === END === --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
