Raffaele, sorry it was a mistake, the command is dd if=<boot device*> bs=512 count=1 of=linux.bin (*ie. /dev/xxx). I do have that configuration and it works fine. Actually you don't ever need lilo (unless you load initrd or are feeding kernel parameters).If this is your case just uninstall lilo (lilo -u) and go through the steps I wrote you.
