this may be because your hdd is setup by bios as LARGE, which
happens when installing linux, at certain times, go back to
bios and change to LBA.
also note that ur /boot is on the last 1800 MB, the
first 9GB itself will consume more than 1024 cylynders
the limitation of LILO to load linux from. so if
you could soup your /boot (say 20-30 MB) as the
first primary, (hda1), then you could be well off.
