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.
