It is still looking for the original lilo configuration. I think that
you need to configure RH7.1's lilo.conf so that it sees the other HD's
partition. As far as I remember, you have to create a mount point on the
RH7.1 / (and amend the lilo.conf to show the second boot image option
)so that lilo can mount the other partition and see boot from it. I'll
try posting when I am more awake but I am sure I had to do something
similar to get Mandrake to work with Slack/W98.
