I had the same error message, some time ago. I wanted to migrate a
installation from one disk (old & small) to another disk (newer &
larger). I installed both disk in one machine, the newer disk was
mounted as /dev/hdd. Then I copied the /-partition from the old disk
to the new one, made a chroot to where I mounted the /dev/hdd and
run lilo. Lilo now wrote to the mbr that it should load the kernel
from somewhere on /dev/hdd. Then I installed the new disk alone in
the machine (now as /dev/hda) and bootet - I got the error message,
that started this thread. booting from a CD, running lilo fixed it.
hope that helps
