I think the exact the lilo error message can be translated into
something readably by humans. Please consult the lilo documentation for
that.

Depending on the age of the computer/BIOS, you may need to create the
partition with the Kernel and lilo within the first 1024 cylinders of
the hard disk. If lilo is not installed into the MBR, make sure the
partition where lilo is installed is marked bootable/active and you
have a standard MBR that accesses the active partition, or some other
boot manager installed in the MBR that can start lilo.
