I've come across this a couple of times with Xandros (my main OS) 
installations. It seems to occur when there has been a Dos or other MS 
MBR or bootloader previously installed before Lilo. My limited 
experience (with Xandros anyway) is that re-installing Lilo makes the 
problem go away and it doesn't come back.
