Re: VMWare and lilo

[aphro <nate@firetrail.com>]

i've had that problem when the partition was not marked as active.  that
could be your problem, boot offa disk and check fdisk, in linux utilities
active is the same as 'bootable'

typically only 1 partition at a time per drive can be active, any more
*may* cause problems.
