If you intend to use LILO or Grub as a secondary boot loader, it must be installed either below the 1024 cylinder limit or you must select "Force use of LBA32 at the boot loader installation screen. Otherwise, you will be unable to boot your linux installation. Your hard drive must be able to support this option. If you intend to use LILO or Grub as your primary boot loader, this will not be an issue, as it will install in the Master Boot Record of your first hard drive.
