Hmm, well it's eather not a LILO problem (you'd have to had loaded the
kernel), or there's something very sutle (sp?) rong with the drive
geomtry, as persived by Lilo (the bios), and so lilo looks for sector X
of the kernel at sector Y of the disk, but got this other sector (say I
had 1 less sector as perseved by the bios, and so you'd loose a sector of
kernel image over the end of the track).
Not useing the lilo.conf that setup created is fine, as lilo (the
command) would complane, and not install the loader.
