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.
Summary: Well, I installed Windows 2000 Pro on hda1 and then installed Linux RedHat 6.2 on hda2. I thought it was all OK until I triecd to go back to W2K and got a message "OS Missing"... Does any one know if...
