LILO Question in Slackware 10.1 I'm setting up a Dell that came with windows XP installed on its hard
drive. I've added another drive, configured to be the master, and
changed the original drive to be the slave. I installed 10.1 on the
new drive and had lilo self-install on the MBR of that drive. The
install script recognized the windows partition on the original drive
and added an entry for it (on /dev/hdb2 with table=/dev/hdb). While
booting into Linux works exactly as expected (the original drive is
also accessible), if I try to boot into the windows partition the
system hangs. One exception to this behavior is when I set the boot
flag on windows partition; now the system boots directly into windows,
and I never see the LILO menu.
Any suggestions?
