This is maybe the mostly asked question here, there are several causes,
they are also explained in the lilo README.
Basicly, as per the README found on most systems in /usr/doc/lilo-*
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.
