The kernel image (without the setup
code) is bigger than 512 kbytes. \LILO\ would overwrite itself when trying
to load such a kernel. Try removing some unused drivers and compiling
the kernel again. With recent (compressed) kernels, the reason for this
error is most likely that the kernel image is damaged or that it
contains trailing ``junk'', e.g. as the result of copying an entire boot
floppy to the hard disk.
I leave it to you to work out the details for the current lilo,
and what "is most likely that" means (i.e. can the 512 KB limit be
overcome or is it a hard limit)
