Don't have much to go on but;
It sounds like maybe a hardware problem.
Can you boot into Linux with a boot disk?
What does your lilo.conf look like?
Usually I've created the first partition to be the / and the swap goes
at the end. Is the / partition made active?
Here's my fdisk for my server, I first did "m for help"
notice "a toggle a bootable flag", maybe your partition wasn't made
bootable?
a toggle a bootable flag
b edit bsd disklabel
c toggle the dos compatibility flag
d delete a partition
l list known partition types
m print this menu
n add a new partition
p print the partition table
q quit without saving changes
t change a partition's system id
u change display/entry units
v verify the partition table
w write table to disk and exit
x extra functionality (experts only)
Command (m for help): p
