My technician pal told me that those symptoms may have nothing to do with the disk. They may be due to an IDE controller/motherboard problem. So the next thing is to hook up the drive to the secondary ide port and run bios/autodetect. Before you do, get the system up somehow (init 1 is enough), copy /etc/fstab to something else and change all the /dev/hda's to /dev/hdb's.
Other questions: Do you have a slaved CD? What about master/slave/don't care jumpers on both the HD and the CD? If you disconnect the CD, does it help?

It is pentium I. The disk is 6 GB. I'm not sure about the track limit. The /boot partition is /dev/hda1, and its about 50MB.
I'm not sure how relevant this is however. Lilo boots fine. It just does a segmentation fault every now and then, and freezes sometimes.

I presume it is a Pentium I of some sort. How big is your disk and how is it partitioned? Is /boot completely below the 1023 track limit? (A parted or Partition Magic summary would help.)
