Just a few thoughts, not presented in any particular order:
1.  You might want to post the contents of your /etc/lilo.conf file.
2.  Try running the /sbin/lilo command manually after checking 
the above config file.
3.  Even if you can't get LILO working, you may be able to still 
boot Linux via LOADLIN.
4.  Check out the hdparam command (see man page) for more hard drive
info.
