What is the output of this command: ls -l /etc/lilo.conf It should say this to be correct: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 864 May 19 15:34 /etc/lilo.conf If it doesn't, then try doing the chmod a-rwx /etc/lilo.conf and chmod +rw /etc/lilo.conf They should be done as root, and if done correctly, you will get no output at all.
