I've had my share of LILO problems (I gave up on it on this machine ran a
different loader).  I have just about memorized the errors.  :-)

To quote the SuSE manual (pg 106 in my 6.1 version):
"'LI' The second step has been invoked but could not be started.  This can be
due to a faulty disk geometry or to moving /boot/boot.b without reinstalling
LILO."

Good luck.  :-)
