This indicates that the MBR found the lilo first stage which found the
second stage, but the second stage could not execute.

well..
it looks like you went over another install that included lilo.
first try reformatting the harddisk.. if that doesnt work it seems likely
that the previous install was in the master boot record and this one at
the 1st sector of your harddisk. the MBR tells your system to load lilo
from a partition where lilo used to be but its not there anymore..

so the best idea is prolly to remake a new boot sector..
I know windows XP (when booting from cd in rescue) can restore it to
normal with the command fixmbr there are also commands for it in dos
but I dont know them... just look on google for dos commands or linux or
whatever you prefer to fix the master boot record (MBR) that should fix
the problem for you
I personally used the fixmbr option with the XP cd to fix the problem I
got after installing RH 7.2

good luck and I hope this information helps..

I found out that with a win98 bootdisk the command "fdisk /mbr" worked
as well
