1024 cylinder so far



Hi all
 
I have a 30GB HD and i decide install debian (with BF2.4 floppies) in the first partition.
There is my HD now:
 
device       Start cylinder        Ending cylinder     Size (MB)           FS
hda1                 0                          1215                10,000        ReiserFS
hda2              1215                        2431                10,000        FAT-32 LBA
hda3              2431                        3586                  9,500        FAT-32 LBA
Unused          3586                        3649                     500        Will be Swap
 
hda1->No OS (yet)
hda2->Win98
hda3->No OS , only files
 
The base system installation was finished successfully.
 
Now the problem !
When i try to make my system bootable ,LILO doenst install in MBR.
The error msg "Your linux partition is above 1024 cylinder ...blablabla"
Why?
My Linux partition start at cylinder 0!
Trying to solve the problem i created a /boot(30MB) partition starting at cylinder 0
and occurs the same error.
LBA is ENABLED in BIOS.
I will thank any help.
