I've broken lilo; how to fix?



I couple of weeks ago I was trying to teach lilo about my >8 gig disk
via some parameter added to the lilo.conf file.  I no longer remember
what I did, and have long since removed it.  But now lilo will not
run.  It boots the machine fine, and the machine works great; but I
can't change my kernel or make any other change that requires running
lilo.

Running lilo gives me this error message:

Warning: device 0x0302 exceeds 1024 cylinder limit
geo_comp_addr: Cylinder number is too big (4464 > 1023)

Can anyone tell me how to fix this?  I'm not concerned about accessing the
>8 part of the disk, but only with being able to run lilo again.

Thanks!
