   LILO: 'timestamp mismatch,' no menu, no

   I had this problem on Slackware 14.2+current and Slackware 15. After I ran   
   LILO and rebooted, LILO said 'timestamp mismatch' and didn't show any menu   
   (I have several OSs) and wouldn't boot. No matter what I tried, it   
   wouldn't fix it. I set the BIOS clock two days ahead (though my BIOS and   
   OS times are the same.) I zeroed the boot sector, rebuilt my partition   
   table, reinstalled LILO to the drive. After both these tries the same   
   happened.   
      
   The test for timestamp mismatch should probably be optional for LILO in   
   Slackware. The check serves no useful purpose. Desktop users don't care,   
   and for servers, they can use other tools after they booted, for   
   timestamps.   
      
   Meantime I installed GRUB2.  (which works)   
      
   What do I need to do to use LILO again?
