Hello, thanks for reply.
I didn't pick up the task until now, but will in a few days.

So here it is.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I. Config for mbr LILO of ide drive hd0 = hda:
---------------------------------------------------------------
read-only
lba32
vga=ask
boot = /dev/hda
install = /boot/boot.b
map = /boot/map
message=/boot/bootmsg.txt
prompt
timeout=100
# -------------- Image Section:
other = /dev/hdc
label = woodyC
alias = 4
loader=/boot/chain.b
map-drive = 0x80
to = 0x83
image = /boot/vmlinuz
label = kiste-2.19 # an old SuSe i have to wipe out ...
alias = 1
root = /dev/hda6
image = /boot/vmlinuz
label = potato-2.19 # my first Debian; now my rescue system ;-)
alias = 2
root = /dev/hdc11
image = /boot/vmlinuz
label = woody-2.19 # But usually i let it chain by timeout (image
0).
alias = 3
root = /dev/hdc6
II. Config for mbr LILO of ide drive hd1 = hdc:
---------------------------------------------------------------
lba32
boot=/dev/hdc
install=/boot/boot-menu.b
map=/boot/map
delay=400
message=/boot/bootmsg.txt
prompt
timeout=200
vga=0
image=/boot/vmlinuz # this one doesn't wotk with grub from floppy.
label=Woody
root=/dev/hdc6
read-only
alias=1
image=/boot/POTATO/vmlinuz
label=Potato
read-only
root=/dev/hdc11
optional
alias=2
other=/dev/hda
label=boot_hda
alias=3
loader=/boot/chain.b
map-drive = 0x83 # didn't get it working with lilo.
to = 0x80
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a few days, i go pick it up with Kernel 2.4.18 and 2.4.20.
If i get the same with 4.18 i'll try to file a bug report.
Thank you for the hint.
