I removed the "linear" line in /etc/lolo.conf,
and also moved the lba32 down the file (otherwise I was still getting
the "segmentation fault" error.
Now lilo works (and also would work if the "linear" line is added back)
but I am getting the error message
bash# /sbin/lilo
geo_comp_addr: Cylinder number is too big (1275 > 1023)
My current /etc/lilo.conf is
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
lba32
default=linux
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14-5.0
label=linux
read-only
root=/dev/hda2
other=/dev/hda1
label=dos
