I've seen this and what you need to do is add a line to your
/etc/lilo.conf file.  I think the command is "nolinear"?  I
found it in the lilo documentation though it was kinda hard to
see (a friend had the same problem with a 360CSE and I figured
the info had to be somewhere!).

Good luck!  If this doesn't work then there are some other options
(maybe the compact one?) - try them.
