My experience is that it's useless to install lilo with YaST, I always do it manually and I've never had any difficulties with the 1024 limit (SuSE 6.3, 6.4 & 7.0). Please give us some more details on what error messages lilo is giving you.
Well, not error actually but the LILO was not installed at all, because at the time I set it up, yast said (If I'm not wrong) "your / is on position bigger than 1024 cylinders, and LILO won't work"

Well, actually I'm a system administrator for about 300 users, and I know how to install the LILO, but I just simply has question, that is how come SuSE get behind in this part , LILO, while many distributions other than SuSE even already support it, for example Mandrake with Grub, or Slackware, Redhat with newest LILO. Thanks,

Thanks, Well, like I said earlyer; lilo has worked very well for me in 7.0 and I HAVE NOT upgraded lilo at all. I haven't had this 1024 problem at all with lilo as long as I don't use YaST.
