>From the lilo manual (probably in /usr/doc/lilo): Disk error codes - - - - - - - -
If the BIOS signals an error when LILO is trying to load a boot image, the respective error code is displayed. The following BIOS error codes are known: <snip> 0x40 "Seek failure". This might be a media problem. Try booting again. <snip> Generally, invalid geometry and attempts to use more than two disks without a very modern BIOS may yield misleading error codes. Please check carefully if /sbin/lilo doesn't emit any warnings. Then try using the LINEAR or LBA32 option (see section "Global options"). -- end extract -- Just somewhere to start...
