I would have expected to see a number just after the "L", likes L 01
01 01 01 01
Maybe lilo installed itself at the starting of the partition instead
of at the starting of the disk, and you see the Lilo from the old Redhat
installation, or something related. In such case you have to ajust the
lilo file (/etc/lilo.conf) to be sure it install itself directly in the
boot sector and check the files at the good place, and then type
/usr/sbin/lilo -v
Without seeing your lilo file, it is difficult to help more. Perhaps
you can find your problem by reading this document:
