alright, I am trying to dual boot win2k and redhat 7.3. I have both successfully installed, but I am running into a problem booting into linux.

I followed these instructions to make linux a choice in the nt loader...

boot into linux with linux boot disk
insert windows boot disk into a:
dd if=/dev/hda2 of=/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1
mount -t msdos /dev /fd0 /mnt
umount /mnt

reboot into windows
copy bootsect.lnx to the c: drive
add c:\bootsect.lnx="Linux" to the boot.ini file
restart machine and get OS choices

this works until i try to boot into linux. when I choose Linux from the nt loader, it just sits at a black screen with a blinking cursor (windows boots fine), with no drive activity. I can boot into linux if I use the boot disk I created during installation.

My setup is an 80gb disk (60gb ntfs partition, the rest of the space for linux). any ideas? I figured this would be the place to ask a linux question.

thanks,

Jeremy
