***********Important question*************
What did you use to partition the drive?

As mentioned, the "I drive" may be past the 1024 cylinder, and it's
probably best to put at least a small boot partition before that point.
See, for example,
http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/rhl/RHL-5.2-Manual/install-guide/manual/
Section 2.7 talks about partitions and LILO.
Anyway, disk druid *should* be showing you something like this:
mount point device requested actual type
hda1 2047M 2047M dos16bit ->32
hda2 7679M 7679M Extended
hda5 2000M 2000M dos16bit ->32
hda6 2000M 2000M dos16bit ->32
hda7 2000M 2000M dos16bit ->32
: : : :
where hda5,6,7,8,9,... are the "logical partitions" within the extended
partition. Whatever you used to partition the disk is doing something a
little strange. Don't touch the disk with disk druid unless you're
willing to lose everything on the computer except for linux. We first
need to figure out why disk druid can't read your partition table.
Have you tried linux fdisk?
