LILO does not show Windows option
Hi,
I would like to select between Windows and knoppix at boot time, but the LILO menu only shows the knoppix option.
I installed Knoppix into a partition with knx-install, and installed LILO in the MBR. I have only one HD, and the layout is (from cfdisk):
hda1 - Boot - Primary - NTFS (Windows booting partition)
hda2 - - Logical - NTFS
hda5 - - Logical - NTFS
hda6 - - Logical - NTFS
hda3 - - Primary - Linux ext2
hda4 - - Primary - Linux swap
And here is the lilo.conf (I modified it a bit since installation):
boot=/dev/hda
vga=791
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.19-xfs
label=knoppix
root=/dev/hda3
append="hda=scsi hdb=scsi hdc=scsi [...] apm=power-off noapic"
read-only
other=/dev/hda1
table=/dev/hda
label=Windows
TIA,

Check for a # at the start of the lines for the windows part that means they are commented and will not be read at boot. Remove the # from all the windows lines save the file and run /sbin/lilo to commit (write) the changes and reboot and you should now see two boot options there.

Thanks Stephen,
After running /sbin/lilo to commit the changes, it worked fine.
