I downloaded the newest version. My version is: LILO version 21
According to the large disk HOWTO, this doesn't support lba32 or whatever. However, I can't figure out how to compile lilo. The instructions are just not there. Running QuickInst warned me not to use it for anything but a new installation, whatever that is, ./configure would run, and make returned an error. Anyway, my other two 80 gig drives are working fine.
