I've seen this before on my own machines, and never figured out exactly what caused it. I know I tried installing Lilo both in and out of the Master Boot Record of my disk, but I don't think either worked. Since I'm currently running Grub, I'm guessing I fixed it by not using Lilo at all. Unless you have a reason to do otherwise, I recommend you give Grub a shot.
Check out "Configure a Bootloader" in the Gentoo Install guide at: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-install.xml#doc_chap23

Hi. Installing Gentoo for the first time. Other Linux distros have installed fine on this box (a modern x86 desktop). Gentoo stage3 CD install seems to go smoothly, but it won't boot from hard disk or diskette. Says L 02 02 02 02... when booting from HD. Diskette outputs three rows of dots then:
8000 AX:0212 BX: 6A00 CX: 5001 DX: 0000
Partitions:
/dev/hda1 100MB boot /dev/hda2 512MB swap /dev/hda3 4GB root
Relevant parts of lilo.conf:
boot = /dev/hda
image = /boot/bzImage root = /dev/hda1 #root = /devices/discs/disc0/part3 label = Gentoo read-only
I'm guessing I have LILO wrong. What should it be?
Thanks,
