If i remember correctly you have mailed about this before, one cannot
say what the problem is without looking at your /etc/lilo.conf
and other files, please attach the following in a mail or cut and
paste it them in.
/etc/lilo.conf
/etc/fstab
The output of the following commands.
fdisk /dev/hda
p
p shows the partition table
Same for /dev/hdb if applicable.
