Sir,
I have a Pentium III with Win ME in the primary hard disk(20GB)
I installed another hard disk of size 40GB and made four partitions (10+10+10+8).
I loaded RedHat Linux 7 into the third partition of the second hard disk.

But the problem is Linux boots only when I insert the boot disk.To install the LILO ,i typed
/sbin/lilo .It gives an error


Warning: device 0x0342 exceeds 1024 cylinder limit
Fatal: sector 20488250 too large for linear mode (try 'lba32' instead)

Can you give some suggestions so that without inserting the boot floppy Linux loads.

Thank you

Sandeep

Try adding lba32 to the top of your /etc/lilo.conf files and run lilo again.
