need help - how to do between lilo and grup



Hello,

I still have problem. If I select boot from Red Hat
7.1 and got the error could not find /dev/hda7.
That's what I did, I edit menu.1st. 
I have trouble it seems the new ES doesn't see old
paritition. 

Do I need to modify /etc/fstab to add the old
partition and what's else I need to do.

Thanks for help.

This is my setup:
...........................
[root at data root]# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda11            9.7G  259M  8.9G   3% /
/dev/hda9             114M   15M   94M  14% /boot
/dev/hda10            9.7G   33M  9.1G   1% /home
none                  499M     0  499M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/hda13            4.2G   33M  4.0G   1% /date
/dev/hda12            6.8G  2.1G  4.4G  32% /usr
.....................................
[root at data root]# fdisk /dev/hda

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 14593.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger
than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions
of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
   (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
