   Ah, I allways install lilo in MBR (/dev/sda), and so did you to get it to   
   work, but from another multi-boot install.   
      
   It was many years since I installed lilo onto the boot block of a   
   partition. To make it boot that way you will still need to configure some   
   other boot loader to use that partition as a chain boot.   
      
   My guess is that your problem came from different kernels/software having   
   different opinions upon the geometry of the drive.
