my guess is that the linux partition was beyond cylinder 1024 on the disk.
previus versions of redhat linux didn't check for this condition, allowed
you to install LILO on the root partition, and after you rebooted the
machine, LILO failed to work.
however, i was told that the latest versions of LILO have removed the 1024
cylinder limitation, thought i haven't tested it at all. also, i was told
that grub (the boot loader that comes with mandrake 7.2) does not have
this limitation.
do check for the location of your linux's root partition. if its beyond
the 1024 cylinder - that might the reason for option #2.
as for putting LILO on the MBR - i haven't tested it yet with winNT
installs - only with win9X installs - because i prefer LILO to be on the
root partition.
maybe that helps,
