Given the sketchiness of your report, I can only offer a guess: might you be
trying to use LILO to boot from a non-bootable hard disk partition? Assuming
you have only one hard disk in your system, check the following:
(a) in /etc/lilo.conf, look for a line that begins with "boot=" and notice
what device entry completes the line (it will be something like "/dev/hda1").
(b) run "fdisk /dev/hda" and press "p" to look at your partition table. If
the partition corresponding to the entry you found in step a is not marked
bootable, mark it bootable, then write the partition table to disk and quit.
(Be very careful to make NO OTHER CHANGES to your partition table while
doing this step - other changes will remove your installation.)
As I said, this is only a guess ... your problem might be something quite
different. I really don't understand what trying it "with and without LILO"
means -- without LILO, how are you *trying* to make the system bootable?
