LILO issue

I'm dualbooting my computer.

hde1-XP
hde2-Windows extended
hde5-boot
hde6-swap
hde7-root

LILO is my bootloader. XP loads just fine, but Gentoo loads up until it tries to mount or fsck (not sure) hde3 and hde4, which don't exist. Then I get an error and it either lets me try diagnostics or reboot. Not much good. I compiled my own kernel. I was trying to use grub before lilo, so grub is installed on the /boot partition, although it doesn't load anything. My lilo.conf is the following:

boot=/dev/hde
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
lba32
default=linux

image=/boot/bzImage
label=linux
read-only
root=/dev/hde7

other=/dev/hde1
label=xp

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

probably wrong fs time in fstab or you didnt build youre filesystem type support into the kernel you may have built it as a module if youre still havin this trouble

A bit of advice: you should included ext2 into your kernel as a built-in or a module. Even you don't have ext2 fs in your hdd. It might be needed when kernel booting up.

Personally, I wouldn't have a Win extended partition either :-/ I like having a nice spiffy 1-2-3-4 :-)
