are you supposed to be telling lilo that the root
partition is /dev/hda5 ( not hda3 ??
is some other distro or Microsoft occupying hda1, hda2, hda3 ??
if you destroyed /var ( /dev/hda7 )... you might have to
reinstall...
root# umount /mnt
root# mount /dev/hda7 /mnt
root# ls -la /mnt should look like /var stuff
have fun
