I can second this. And it seems to be random, depending on where your
kernel lands after a given compile. I think the problem I was complaining
about a couple of weeks ago (lilo stopping at LI) was ultimately because
my DOS partition was extending beyond the 1024 cylinder mark. What I
ended up doing was reduce the size of the first partition and then create
a couple of sliver thin (20MB) /boot partitions completely inside the 1024
limit for booting a couple of different distributions. Of course
everything else ended up in an extended partition since I was basically
out of partitions at that point, but this works out quite well.
