I swapped motherboards between 2 of my linux machines
both machines were running RH 6.0 at the time, and booted fine from
their hard disks
after swapping boards I had to use a boot floppy to boot the machines.
after running lilo both machines still failed to boot from the hard disk
I get 'LI' and nothing else.
all the documentation I've read indicates this problem should be solved
by re-running lilo, which I had done.
I tried various edits of lilo.conf and re-running lilo to no avail.
I grabbed the latest lilo rpm and installed it...
I recompiled my kernel, still the same error
I re-installed linux, still doesn't work...
I'm about to low-level format the drive and re-install
I figured I'd ask if anyone has any suggestions first.
Box 1:
AMD k6-2/350, IDE disk, partitions haven't been changed so I doubt it's
the lilo # of cylinders problem.

Box 2:
AMD Athlon, SCSI and IDE, LILO was originally installed on sda1, and
worked fine, I have tried it on both sda and hda, neither works. again,
partitions haven't changed.
this box also has windows on the ide disk, linux is on the scsi disk
