The L means the first stage has loaded.  The error code means 
0x01 : ``Illegal command''. This shouldn't happen, but if it does, it may
indicate an attempt to access a disk which is not supported by the BIOS

SCSI raid setup?  Try booting from your rescue floppy etc and running
/sbin/lilo -v -l and that way lilo will read in linear mode which i belive
is needed for some SCSI setups.
