Hi
I had the same problem with lilo when installing RedHat 6.1
I solve the problem in less dramatic way (I think)
1. check the file lilo.conf to see if you have there the other OS you need
(if not use linuxconf to add it, (under boot lilo or something like that))
2. at the command prompt run lilo (no arguments), this will update lilo to
include all OS.
3. probably you have to be su and specify the correct pass for every thing
(use wheris to find)
and again this worked to me installing RedHat 6.1
