rescue system and lilo help

Last night I successfully installed SuSE 8 with no trouble at all. I even got the net working and was able to receive my e-mail. The trouble started when I rebooted the PC. It only got as far as LI. I remember having seen this before with a SCSI-IDE system and this is exactly what I have. I booted with the rescue system and tampered with the lilo.conf as required but running lilo just gives me an error Fatal: Sorry.don't know how to handle device 0x0102. I have done this procedure on earlier versions of SuSE with no trouble. Can anyone tell me what is wrong? My system is dead and I am using my old 486 with Windows 95 to look for help. Damon Register
