Hi Rich,
I removed the default LILO (came with Redhat 6.2), and then installed the new version
again. It did the same. Here is what I received:

Whenever I made the same LILO upgrade, I found that I had to forcibly remove
the old LILO first (very carefully) or it would refuse to install itself;
though I got a error message indicating failure. Odd your seeing no output
at all! Have you tried "lilo -v"?
