for some reason lilo doesn't like hard drive that are larger than 8 gigs.... and because of that linux must be installed on the first 8 gigs of your hard disk. i had the same problem when i installed red hat on my laptop. i had to install winXP on the first 3 gigs, then linux comes on a 7 gig pertition after that, then i have a 10 gigs that was formated with NTFS format to be used with XP. this way your can make sure that you boot loader 'lilo' will find linux.
Actually, you can get lilo to boot past the 8GB limit. Just add 'lba32' instead of 'linear' to lilo.conf.
