Give me the configuration of your machine... for ex.:
WindowsXP on the 1st partition of primary master (hda1)
Fedora Core 3 on the 3th partition of primary master (hda3)
Give me also the name of the files there are on the /boot/ dir
Actually their is some problem with your lilo.conf file. When you run lilo it look for the files, whose entries are been made in your lilo.conf file and if it can't locate them, it throws an error. There must be some .bmp entries in the lilo.conf file. Try commenting those lines in the lilo.conf file. Start lilo and later reboot.
