I used the windozzzz XP disk to reset my MBR, then I reinstalled my HDD partition again with knopix, peace-a-cake,
Did you choose 'yes' when it asked to install LILO to the MBR?
but again, after the install was complete I checked my lilo config, everything was ok,
In lilo.conf it will tell you if you installed LILO to your /root directory or the MBR. MBR is of course hda1. Your /root directory is the same one you installed Knoppix to.

I ran lilo just to make sure, same problem,
What was the output when you ran /sbin/lilo?

I tried a debain woody install disk, same problems agian. I will try with grub reply to this mailing list. So far my experience with lilo..... IT SUCKS!
Since LILO is the most commonly used boot loader for Linux I would venture to guess that it was user error. LILO works flawlessly for me. If you're still interested in using LILO post your lilo.conf and some hard drive partition details and we'll see if we can get it fixed up for you.
