hi sameer,
this happpend coz u selected to install lilo on ur MBR... and the old lilo needs the booting of the OS's within 1024 Cylinders u can overcome this by getting a boot floppy frm some one and try out giving /sbin/lilo -L (for lba32 mode drives, i.e. booting beyond 1024 cylinders..
hope this solves ur problem, -mitul Limbani (mitul 2 mitul.com)

Hi all,
While installing the RH 7.1, I received the following error message.
An error occur while installing the bootloader. We HIGHLY recommend you make a recover boot floppy when prompted, otherwise you may not be able to reboot into RHL.
The error report was: warning : device 0x0309 exceeds 1024 cylinder limit Fatal sector39745412 too large for linear mode ( try 'lba32' instead)
What does it mean? How can I get rid of this? I created a boot floppy after this when prompted but, when I try toboot from floppy it gives the message: SYSLINUX 1.52 2001-02-07 Boot failed Now I'm not able to boot into the linux in any way. What to do?
Where can I get advanced LILO loader.
Thanks & Regards, SAMEER :))
