FYI, here's LILO error codes (off some website):

L<m> Where represent one of 16 disk-error codes
LI    The second-stage boot loader loaded, but could not run
LIL	The description table could not be read
LIL?  The second-stage address boot loader located at an incorrect address
LIL-	LILO found a corrupt descriptor table
LILO  Run successfully

Move vmlinuz to /boot.  But do not point lilo.conf to /dev/hda1.  Make it
point to /dev/hda.  Then you need to rerun /sbin/lilo as root.

I'm assuming /dev/hda3 is the root partition, right?
