I have recently installed RedHat Linux V 7.0.I have a 20 GB single HDD which is partioned to make it 5 GB each. Windows-98 takes the first 15 GB rest by Linux.
I checked on the option of installing the LILO boot to MBR. I have made Windows 98 as the default operating system to load at the time of boot. I was expecting the LILO prompt at boot time to ask me the choice of booting to one of the OS. But LILO prompt would not appear at all. It simply goes on to boot Win-98. If I have to boot to
Linux, I must use Linux boot floppy every time. This I find very inconvenient.
I sought help on one of the help file about LILO. Later came to know that the cylinder size was very big. (It was giving the error message that the cylinder size exceeds the limit. 2039>1023).
I am having difficulty in understating the whole concept. I would like to be able to
boot to either OS without using the floppy using LILO.
My second problem is Linux is not recognizing the sound card.
(Chipset – ALS-4000
Make – Yamaha – 32 bit)
even though it is perfectly okay with win-98. Is there any way to get around the problem ?
