I haven´t followed the whole thread and it´s not yet in the archives, 
 so pls excuse for re-runs...

Try putting your disk-geometry (the real one, your BIOS may have other 
 limitations) in an append-statement like

image=/boot/bzImage.brenner   
        label=linux
        read-only
        append="hda=49585,16,63"

Set in the BIOS whatever it´s capable of, it only has to access the 
 MBR and whereever your /boot is anyway.

Re-run lilo, reboot...

This is how I solved the "LI..."-problem here.

cheers,
