Your bios might have changed disk parameters, ie gone to LBA or auto
and detected the disk in a different manner. Or you changed some or
other file, check your old logs for disk geometry, and make sure linux
is still seeing the disk the same as beffore when booting with your
floppy, if they are the same simply rerun lilo that shoul get rid if
the problem.
