As I said, with another laptop with the same image it was really faster. And I solved the issue by using the "compact" option in /etc/lilo.conf. Does anyone know exactly what this option is doing to make things go real faster?
from http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man5/lilo.conf.5.html compact Tries to merge read requests for adjacent sectors into a single read request. This drastically reduces load time and keeps the map smaller. Using `compact' is especially recommended when booting from a floppy disk. HTH.
