Hi I also do think that at times if there is some prob with partitioning ( this comes from a nightmare i had at my friends place due to partition magic ) lilo can give that error... of LBA and CHS .. as it was asking me to use the lba32 option which too did not work.. we deleted all partition and again repartitioned ( PM7 ) and the problems were gone... -Ritesh
