| 119139 | 2003-02-07 11:15:00 | Yea I know about the admin tab, it dosent help either, and it looks like the 'pre' bug struck my last post so ill just paste it normally (man this forum is buggy). boot=Insert_your_boot_device_here prompt timeout=50 message=/boot/message root=/dev/hda3 image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 label="2.4.18-14" root=/dev/hda3 read-only initrd="/boot/initrd-2.4.18-14.img" image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-14debug label="2.4.18-14" root=/dev/hda3 read-only initrd="/boot/initrd-2.4.18-14debug.img" image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-19.8.0uml label="2.4.18-19.8.0" root=/dev/hda3 read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-24.8.0 label="2.4.18-24.8.0" root=/dev/hda3 read-only initrd="/boot/initrd-2.4.18-24.8.0.img" image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-24.8.0debug label="2.4.18-24.8.0" root=/dev/hda3 read-only initrd="/boot/initrd-2.4.18-24.8.0debug.img" image=/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage label="Linux_Compiled" root=/dev/hda3 read-only optional |

| 119140 | 2003-02-07 11:20:00 | Are you dual/multi booting Red Hat Linux with Windows9X/2000/XP? Or is it Linux Just by itself. I had similar problem but with multi booting RH8 with Win2000/XP. The Linux wouldnt appear in Boot menu as it was using NT Boot loader. if you are multibooting then let me know. Cheers |

| 119141 | 2003-02-07 11:23:00 | Okay :) It looks to me that all you need to alter is the first line so it reads boot=/dev/hda3 prompt timeout=50 mes sage=/boot/message root=/dev/hda3 Let me know.... |

| 119142 | 2003-02-07 11:25:00 | That hda3 does look an awful lot like a dual boot! | Gorela (901) | ||
| 119143 | 2003-02-07 11:31:00 | I am dualbooting with Windows NT 5 (2k), sorry if i forgot to mention it. | nz_liam (845) | ||
| 119144 | 2003-02-07 11:43:00 | Okay dude, hang fire a sec and I'll check the comp with the same config. | Gorela (901) | ||
| 119145 | 2003-02-07 11:43:00 | Try this Boot into Linux. Copy the file : "bootsect.lnx" to your floppy. The file is located in your boot partition. If you cant find, just do a search from Linux. Boot back into Windows 2000 and copy "bootsect.lnx" into your system partition. Edit the boot.ini file which is sitting in your system partition to something like this c:\bootsect.lnx="RedHat Linux 8.0" Depending on your label for system partition Now boot PC and your NT loader should show "Red hat Linux 8.0" So when you select this you go into LILO boot Loader from where you start Linux. there could be two reasons why you didnt see LILO loader upon booting. You didnt install LILO at all or maybe you installed it to first sector of boot partition and hence the MBR which has NT boot loader kicks in first Hope this helps. This is what i did anyways.

| 119146 | 2003-02-07 11:56:00 | Ok, I'll give that a try now. :) | nz_liam (845) | ||
| 119147 | 2003-02-07 12:00:00 | Actually I dont have the bootsect.lnx file, this (sal.neoburn.net) is whats I've got. | nz_liam (845) | ||
