Half right. Red Hat 5.2 can access fat32 volumes but not until it has fully boted the system and has all the necesary modules or kernal in memory when Lilo starts none of this had happened so it can't access Fat32. What I do is leave my primary partition as fat16 for lilo and apart from my Linux native and swap paritions the rest are fat32 and or NTFS these can be acecssed under linux after bootup except the NTFS.
