If you have Grub installed on /dev/hda and your lilo.conf is configured to also install on /dev/hda then yup, it'll overwrite Grub.

Warning: device 0x0342 exceeds 1024 cylinder limit
Fatal: geo_comp_addr: Cylinder number is too big (2550 > 1023)
 
is the error I get when i run 'lilo'
does that mean I cant use LILO because something is too big?

voidmain:
It means you should have created a small "/boot" partition at the beginning of your drive like I have suggested many times on this site.  Lilo does not like to have the kernel more than 1024 cylinders from the beginning of the disk.  I normally create a 50MB /boot partition as the first partition of every machine I install on.  Grub does not have this limitation (and neither do newer versions of LILO).

Master of Reality:
I have a 31 MB /boot partition on /dev/hda
my root '/' partition is on /dev/hdb1

Master of Reality:
this is my lilo.conf:

--- Code: ---
--- End code ---
thats the wrong kernel isnt it?
