I haven't had this exact problem, but it rang some bells so I read
around a bit.
You could try taking a look at some of the options in lilo relating to
parition tables - specifically "lba32" "geometric" "ignore-table" and
"fix-table".
Looking at the man page for lilo.conf, "fix-table" looks like it might
be worth a try.
Incidentally, to run lilo from the command line you need to do "lilo"
not "# lilo". "#" means comment - anything after it is ignored when you
type it on the line. When "#" is the prompt, it's not part of what you
type and simply informs you that you are root.
Paul.

Steepness is an illusion caused by flat things leaning over.
