I am working in Redhat Linux 7.1 . when it boots, Lilo does not show "Linux" but "2.4.2 ".etc. I tried changing in Lilo.conf file. But does not change. another Os is Win 98.

Also system time changes when it boots from Linux.I tried "hwclock" , but no results.

Please give me some solution to both these problems.

In lilo the config file /etc/lilo.conf is
loaded once when lilo itself is run (not
during boot). In order to make changes to
lilo you need to run it (/sbin/lilo). I
suggest you read manual page (man lilo)
before making changes to it.

Make your changes to /etc/lilo.conf.
Then bring up the terminal and type:

/sbin/lilo -v

This writes the contents of lilo.conf to your mbr.
