Ok - I use it with LILO 22.2 here, it's on Debian, and it's the only box
where I ever needed that option.

My lilo.conf:
----------8<--------
lba32
boot=/dev/md0
raid-extra-boot=/dev/sda,/dev/sdb
root=/dev/md1

disk=/dev/sda
 bios=0x80
disk=/dev/sdb
 bios=0x81

install=/boot/boot-menu.b

delay=20
default=Linux

image=/boot/vmlinuz
  label=Linux
  read-only
----------8<--------

The following is from a standard RedHat 7.3 system with LILO 21.4.4-14:

----------8<-----8<-----
boot=/dev/md3
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message
prompt
timeout=40
linear
default=2.4.18
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18
  label=2.4.18
  read-only
  root=/dev/md2
----------8<-----8<-----

Both systems are SCSI-only though.

The following is an IDE-only RedHat 7.2 with LILO 21.4.4.14

----8<-----8<------------
boot=/dev/md0
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
message=/boot/message
linear
default=linux
image=/boot/vmlinuz
  label=linux
  read-only
  root=/dev/md1
----8<-----8<------------

Perhaps you could change the lba32 option into linear ?  I'm really
shooting in the mist here - LILO tends to "just work", and ignorance is
bliss   ;)
