Are you sure LILO is installed on that partition? The default, when you
install Mandrake is to put LILO in the master boot record of hda, but if
you're using another boot loader, then that will wipe LILO off your MBR when
it's installed. I believe that when you use another boot loader in your
MBR, LILO needs to be installed on the partition that that boot loader
points to. Did you make a boot disk during the install? If so, boot off
that, and check /etc/lilo.conf to see if the first line reads
boot=/dev/hda2
where /dev/hda2 is the partition that linux is installed on (not necessarily
hda2 on your machine). If it says just "hda", you need to change it to the
partition that Linux is installed on (i.e. hda2, hda3, etc.). After that,
run "/sbin/lilo" and reboot. Assuming that you put in the correct
partition, it should work. I hope I made the instructions clear. If not,
rebuke me and make me try again.
Good luck.
