a few things

I wonder if your hard disk is too big.  I mean the disk being too large for
normal booting  Windows gets around it with kludges and Linux (after booting
can get around some of those issues without special kludges.  I think lilo
requires a starting address low enough to boot properly.

Take a look at ide.txt in /usr/src/linux/Documentation for a brief
explanation of some of this hard disk geometry stuff.
