I have Mandrake 9.2 running on HP Pavillion 5385 Laptop. Partioned with Win XP Pro running on other partition. My problem is that when I configure /etc/lilo.conf the lilo boot menu does not change appropriately and still shows the old values. I installed a different kernel and wanted to see it work, however the lilo boot menu does not have its options changes. Following is my /etc/lilo.conf
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
default="windows"
keytable=/boot/us.klt
prompt
nowarn
timeout=100
message=/boot/message
menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw
other=/dev/hda1
label="windows"
table=/dev/hda
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label="linux"
root=/dev/hda2
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda3 splash=silent"
vga=788
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label="linux-nonfb"
root=/dev/hda2
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda3"
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz-enterprise

initrd=/boot/initrd-enterprise.img
append="devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda3 splash=silent"

append="devfs=nomount hdc=ide-scsi acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda3 failsafe"
read-only
other=/dev/fd0

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and I do not see my labes on the menu in the order specified above. What am I doing wrong???

After editing the lilo.conf you need to run lilo as root.
You will see it writes the new configuration to the bootsector.
And shows a * after the default kernel.


ooh, and watch out with all those cross posts.

You only need to post your question in One (1) section. If your not sure where to post, put it in "linux newbie" or "Misc" and a moderator will move it if necessary.

Thanks,
