It can't work : lilo relies on the bios and the bios can't access alone to
/dev/hda5. Put lilo either on your MBR or on a *primary* partition. As you
have logical partitions, you could put lilo in the extended partition wich
is a primary partition and make it the only active partition.

How are we supposed to be able to help you without the necessary details ?
At least your lilo.conf and having your partition tables too would be
fine.
