RE: LILO Problem
It is 'normal' that a windows after linux installation messes up your lilo
bootloader state.
Do
fdisk /mbr
on a windows command prompt and reboot to linux (using a rescue
disk)
after that configure your lilo.conf file to make lilo boot correctly and
reinstall lilo
Also make sure your boot partition is within the 1024 cylinder limit (or was
that sector, all confused i am)
When do you receive this error ? It DOES start at cat bzImage or at boot ?
Please specify ...

I have used grub and it is simplicity itself to setup .. and
very, very good.
