I can't get lilo to load on my new hard drive; here's the message I get:

--------------------------------------------------
[root@blotter /root]# lilo

Here's my fdisk partition printout:

--------------------------------------------------
Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 2495 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System

Like I said I'm running RHL7b with lilo-21.4.4-8.  I thought this version
of Lilo would not suffer from the 1024 cylinder limit.  How can I find out
if it's my BIOS causing this?  And can I eliminate this by just creating
smaller partitions?
