When installing Redhat Linux 5.2 onto a machine with multiple DOS partitions (common nowadays due to manufacturers setting up PCS with multiple Windoze partitions on the 8+ Gig drives). When the installer attempts to install lilo, it mistakenly creates two entries for DOS partitions, but fails to give the user the option to name the NON boot one, and will always fail. The only way I have found around this is to manually edit the lilo.conf that the 5.2 installer creates, and remove the improper entry, and to rerun lilo. It appears the installer notices the multiple Dos partitions but only assigns a name to the bootable one, Peraps a check to see which partitions have a bootable flag is missing. This bug only seems to exist when more than 1 DOS or Fat32 partitions exist.
