Everytime I bootup to my Linux redhat 7.1 computer,it required me to insert my bootup disk and
the following message display in the screen
"Press (or wait 10 seconds) to boot your Redhat Linux system from/dev/hdb5.
You may overide the default linux kernel parameters by typing "Linux ",followed by
if you like"
Can you please tell me how to tackle this problem and to allowed my linux redhat boot up normally
without using my boot up disk.
Thank you.

Do you even get to the 'Boot:' prompt? Does LILO display or does the graphical LILO screen display?

This would be one where we would need to look at your lilo.conf file located in the /etc directory. Send it to me if oyu would like for me to look into this further.

If you take a look at your lilo.conf file and see something needing changes, make sure you run lilo before you reboot or your changes will not take effect. Always run lilo after making any changes to the conf file.

Sendme the file if you would like to -> jeffc@texarfcu.org.
