Hi,
The problem lies in the Harddisk geometry the BIOS passes to the LILO
loader. Unfortunatly, when booting from a normal install, you sometime get
your Harddisks parameteres read in LBA, CHS or Large form, this due to the
new read of the Partition tables when you changed the partition
informations. If the BIOS gave in the harddisk geometry data in LBA, the
system will reread the Harddisk geometry in CHS mode, thus the boot will
fail.
So, to get this working right, go into the CMOS Setup of your Mainboard, and
play around with the Translation Method for the harddisk. Mostly after this
error to happen - setting the translation to LARGE or CHS will fix the
problem.
Had this problem also for some time.
Cheers
