[PLUG] lilo boot from /dev/hda1 fails

[MaD dUCK <madduck@madduck.net>]

hey all,
because of power management features, lilo on my notebook
used to be installed at /dev/hda1 with that partition
marked bootable. that was on a 6Gb drive and i just now
updated to a 12Gb drive and wanted to do the same. my
partition table looks as follows:

Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1467 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *         1         2     16033+  83  Linux
/dev/hda2             3        35    265072+  82  Linux swap
/dev/hda3            36      1431  11213370    5 Extended
/dev/hda5            36        99    514048+  83  Linux
/dev/hda6           100       546   3590496   83  Linux
/dev/hda7           547       801   2048256   83  Linux
/dev/hda8           802      1311   4096543+  83  Linux
/dev/hda9          1312      1375    514048+  83  Linux
/dev/hda10         1376      1431    449788+  83  Linux

now, when i install lilo at /dev/hda1, the boot process
doesn't load it. no bios error message not anything. the
notebook (dell latitude cpi-a) just sits there at the
black screen and waits (and beeps back at keystrokes).

if i install lilo into /dev/hda (the mbr), then it works,
but that means that my power management features
(suspend2disk) will be rendered unusable.

any ideas?
thanks,
martin

the nice thing about windoze is - it does not just crash,
it displays a dialog box and lets you press 'ok' first.
