newbie again: installed RedHat but Win ME won't let it even consider booting

[Saqib Shaikh]

Ok. having read this another suggestion which may seem stupid but you never
know it may help.

By default the timeout on your system may be quite short (if there is a
timeout at all). This would mean that WinME starts either straight away or
very quickly.

I'd recommend booting from a speakup disk and on the boot prompt specify
root=/dev/hda2 or whatever to get yourself into your system. Then make sure
that in /etc/lilo.conf there is an uncommented line saying "prompt" and that
underneath this there are lines such as delay=30 and timeout=30. 30=3
seconds so you could increase if you want.
