Hm, maybe I missed something but why don't you configure the master LiLo
using M5.3? Another possibility would be using loadlin from your
win-partition. As for the error messages: you commented the hdparm
optimizations, did you? If they are still there LiLo will be confused by
the 'wrong' parameters of your hd.
