Well, the partitions you have are basically the same way I'm having - with
the exception that my first linux partition (/boot) is waaaay beyond the
1024 limit. Somewhere was said that newer lilo's can boot beyond the limit
- but I didn't check that is it included in RH7...

BTW: how much is 1k cylinders in GB's? Or does it depend on HD in use?
8 Gigs?

You mean below?

I think my problems are all because of having about 24 Gigs of Fat32
-partitions in beginning of drive. And, I'm having the drive on HPT370
conroller (KT7-RAID)

Perhaps I try not to get blood out of my nose (a finnish way of saying)
and create a 16-meg /boot -partition at the beginning of the drive.

thanks for your concern, Elem.
