boot problem

[Basil Fowler]

If SuSE 8.1 uses LILO ( 8.0 does ). look at /etc/lilo.conf.  For Dual boot 
there must be a section referring to the other OS.  If not, the other OS will 
not boot.

The man page gives a full account  ( man lilo.conf ) on how to write a new 
/etc/lilo.conf.   save the present lilo.conf as a backup. Follow the 
instructions in man lilo.conf to produce a new enlarged lilo.conf. Run as 
root  /sbin/lilo.

OR

Use YaST2, options System -> Bootloader Configuration

Hope this helps
