after booting from the floppy, log in as root, open a terminal, type
1)
a) # lilo -v -a
(here # denotes a prompt like c:\> so you should type only
lilo -v -a)
if it gives some warning such as, no such files found
/etc/lilo.conf, then try 1).b)
if it does not give any warning then restart the computer.
b) # cp /etc/lilo.conf.anaconda /etc/lilo.conf
edit the /etc/lilo.conf file, and add 'lba32' (without the qoutes)at
8th line i. e. after 'message=/boot/message'.
2)
try 1). a) again.
this should solve your problem.
Here is a sample of my lilo.conf
<start of lilo.conf>
prompt
timeout="50"
default=linux
boot="/dev/hda"
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message
lba32
image="/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.7-10"
label="linux"
initrd="/boot/initrd-2.4.7-10.img"
read-only
root="/dev/hda6"
append="hdb=ide-scsi"
other=/dev/hda1
optional
label="winXP"
<end of lilo.conf>
Hope this helps.
