>From the LILO docs:

LI  The first stage boot loader was able to load  the second 
    stage boot loader,but has failed to execute it. This can 
    either be caused by a geometry  mismatch  or  by  moving 
    /boot/boot.b without running the map installer. 

My guess is that lilo was not re-installed in the  MBR after
the re-installation process. Please boot  through  your boot
disk created during installation, and as root do a "lilo -v"
and reboot from hard disk.

Doing a 'rm -f *' within a directory will remove all the files 
within the directory but NOT invisible DOT (.) files. You need 
to do a:  '$rm  .[A-Za-z0-9]*'           # To delete DOT files
