After upgrading from Red Hat Linux 6.0 to 6.1, the "dos" label in lilo.conf would not boot if selected. Upon comparing the lilo.conf file placed in /etc by the upgrade with a the lilo.conf on another machine which was similarly configured, I pulled the following entries out and placed them in the upgraded lilo.conf, re-ran /sbin/lilo and corrected the problem: other=/dev/hdb1 # existing entry label=dos # existing entry table=/dev/hdb # added map-drive=0x80 # added to = 0x81 # added map-drive=0x81 # added to = 0x80 # added The problem with lilo.conf has occured on three machines upgraded from RH6.0 to RH6.1. Users upgrading from 6 to 6.1 may be frustrated if they need to operate in a dual-boot system. Yours truly, Jon L. jlarsen@cas-online.com

Reassigned - the installer messes up lilo.conf during updates, not lilo itself.
Fixed in current beta of installer
