ok. i had the same problem but i finally solved it.
you have to make sure that the /etc/lilo.conf file has the right settings in it.
this is an example of a working lilo.conf file:

#start of lilo.conf

prompt
timeout=50
default=MYSYS
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message
lba32

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-14
label=MYSYS
root=/dev/hda2
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-14.img
append="hdd=ide-scsi root=LABEL=/"

other=/dev/hda1
optional
label=WindowsXP

#end of lilo.conf

make sure you change "hda1" to where window$ is and "hda2" where your linux system is (also change the image path, initrd, and append...) :shock:

that should do it. it works fine for me but there's no guarante. :idea:
