Linux (SuSE7.3) boot help by Sieldan2003-02-09 11:19:10
  Forgive asking the flippin' obvious... by wheresthefish 2003-02-09 11:45:39
but you did run lilo after editing lilo.conf didn't you?

For comparison porpoises here are my results from a SuSE 8.0 box:

hal9000:~ # cat /etc/lilo.conf
boot = /dev/hda
change-rules
reset
read-only
menu-scheme = Wg:kw:Wg:Wg
lba32
prompt
timeout = 80
message = /boot/message

image = /boot/vmlinuz
label = linux
root = /dev/hda3
initrd = /boot/initrd

image = /boot/vmlinuz.suse
label = failsafe
root = /dev/hda3
initrd = /boot/initrd.suse
append = "ide=nodma apm=off acpi=off"
optional

image = /boot/memtest.bin
label = memtest86
