Linux

Sound is very easy to configure in redhat.

Type setup from the command line or terminal
window.

Your Lilo problem is a little harder to work
on. Up until recently the boot dir and lilo
had to be put below 1024 cyl.The new lilo is
suppose to handle LBA but you have to create
the partitions with fdisk. Redhat has LBA
turned off by default. I have not had a
chance to test it out. Check out the Man page
for LILO and check out

To configure sound, at the console prompt type sndconfig. From the screen that appears you will be able to pick your sound card. If it's PCI, sndconfig should pick up the card; if not, you'll need the io, interrupt, dma information. It took a little bit of fiddling on my machine, but I got it working. Normally a sound blaster driver will work with most compatibles.

As for the lilo issue, I would re-size your FAT32 partion to accommodate moving your EXT2 partition so that the EXT2 partition starts below cylinder 1023. I had to do this on my Win98/Corel Linux dual-boot machine. I used a freeware tool called Partition Resizer (http://members.nbci.com/Zeleps/), and it worked flawlessly. Depending on your partition layout, you might need to delete some other partitions. At least you won't have to re-install. (I didn't.)

Addressing the LILO issue - did you install Lilo on the MBR or on the partition itself? The latter won't work at all in your case due to the location of the partition on the drive.
