Only Default "Linux" will boot

[richb]

I have Knoppix on hdb3 and Windows XP on hda1. I installed lilo on the MBR of hda1. I can boot to Windows XP and to the first menu entry in lilo the default Linux, but I cannot boot to the 2.6 kernel. The boot process starts, a bios check is done and then I get a blank screen. I checked the lilo configuration file and the menu entries look identical for the defalut and the 2.6 kernel with the exception of the vmlinz image. The 2.6 image file does exist in /boot

Any clues?

Please post your lilo.conf.

Make life easier for yourself and install grub.
