RH7.1 also has a lilo.conf file in /etc. Try putting it in there just like SUSE.

You're welcome.

I see that you always want to start up in runlevel 3. You can edit the /etc/inittab file and you won't need the ' linux 3 '. The line to look for is ' id:5:initdefault: '. Change the ' 5 ' to a ' 3 '. The next time you boot up you'll be in runlevel 3.

Don't forget, whenever you edit the lilo.conf file to run the command ' /sbin/lilo ' as root so the changes will be made.
