If I remember correctly this is a symptom of LILO when you're beyond the
1024 cylinder limitation on your HDD. Try setting the system up with a
small /boot partition when you install Linux. 15MB is plenty big
enough. See if that helps.

Larry is NOT a cucumber...he's a stinkin pickle...
Boot
from your windows startup floppy and then at the A: prompt, type SYSTEM.
this will overwrite the MBR on your hard disk, by transferring the system files
from the floppy to hard disk. This is NOT like formatting your hard drive,
so all your files will be intact.

Boot
with a DOS FLoppy and perform fdisk /mbr
this
