From the RedHat 7.1 release notes:
<snip>
LBA32 Support - There is now support for the LBA32 option in LILO. This
makes it possible to boot from partitions partially or completely above
cylinder 1024 (which had been a historical limitation.) Noe, however,
that we have found that not all motherboards support this option, even
when the BIOS claims support is available. Therefor, this option is
disabled by default. Note also that this option is available ONLY when a
partition has been created using fdisk, and that partition is then chosen
as the /boot or / partition. The fdisk restriction is necessary as it is
not possible to create a bootable partition above cylinder 1024 using Disk
Druid.

If there are any typos in the above it's my fault, and not RedHat's.
