This is a major clue to your problem. If your boot partion is not in the
first 1024 cylinders of your drive LILO breaks.

>Warning: /dev/sda is not on the first disk
>Warning: device 0x0803 exceeds 1024 cylinder limit
>geo_comp_addr: Cylinder number is too big (3203 > 1023)
>
>fdisk /dev/sda returns:
>The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 4101.
>This is larger than 1024, and may cause problems with:
>1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., LILO)
>2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
> (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
