Hey, yeah! That makes good sense.
Robert Fox: Is your motherboard IDE controller set to "LBA?" And likewise,
what kind of drive is it? IBM drives have jumper settings for either 15 or
16 cylinder operation on the back. I had a similar problem. When I set it to
15 cylinders, it worked then. And you don't lose disk space (its an
emulation thing).

well, lets see. http://www.google.com, search for 'linux lilo howto error'
There I click on
http://www.aimnet.com/~homer/util/howto/Bootdisk/Bootdisk-HOWTO-12.html
and see:
When LILO loads itself, it displays the word ``LILO''. Each letter
is printed before or after performing some specific action. If LILO
fails at some point, the letters printed so far can be used to
identify the problem.
...
LI
The first stage boot loader was able to load the second stage boot
loader, but has failed to execute it. This can either be caused by a
geometry mismatch or by moving /boot/boot.b without running the map
installer.
Hope this helps.
