I was having the same problem when I was using the Slackware distribution 3.0.0 and the moment I am using something else but I solved the problem then by getting the lilo package from the net. I compiled and installed it and then my problems were solved. I think it has something to do with something in the slackware distribution. Hope this will help you.
