On reviewing the lilo documentation (/usr/doc/lilo/Manual.txt.gz) <blockquote> LILO depends on the BIOS to load the following items: - /boot/boot.b - /boot/map (created when running /sbin/lilo) - all kernels - the boot sectors of all other operating systems it boots - the startup message, if one has been defined </blockquote> I believe even newer BIOSes are limited to 4 disks, older ones may be limited to 2, so you could try moving the disk to a a different controller or putting /boot on /dev/hd[a-d]. I have no idea of Grubs limitations as I've been happy with lilo.
