I hope noone else has repled saying the same thing, (i still have many mails
to look at), however take a look at /usr/doc/lilo-0.19-1/README (redhat-4.2)
/usr/doc/lilo (slackware) i explanes all error codes.
>From the README.
0x04 "Sector not found". This typically indicates a geometry mismatch.
If you're booting a raw-written disk image, verify whether it was
created for disks with the same geometry as the one you're using. If
you're booting from a SCSI disk or a large IDE disk, you should check,
whether LILO has obtained correct geometry data from the kernel or
whether the geometry definition corresponds to the real disk geometry.
(See section "Disk geometry".) Removing COMPACT may help too. So may
adding LINEAR.
Hope this helps.
