   I have only experience from stable versions of Slackware like 15.0 and   
   older.

   In which way did not lilo work?   
      
   Did it complain when you ran lilo to install it in MBR?   
      
   Did it fail to boot? If so, what did you see on your screen at that   
   failure?   
      
   During the years I have mostly run lilo to boot Slackware installations.   
   To be able to do that I have on newer machines had to enable legacy boot   
   in CMOS setup. On some newer machines I have booted with UEFI on GPT   
   partitions with some other bootloader than lilo, but to my surprise I   
   have also found that lilo seems to  work with a GPT partition and legacy   
   boot.
