Error loading Lilo on Slackware 10.2


Hi,
I am installing Slackware 10.2 kernel 2.6 13 (test26.s bzImage) on a Dell Inspiron 5100 laptop. The hard disk is partitioned as:
/dev/hdc1 - Dell Utility
/dev/hdc2 - NTFS(Windows)(Active Partition)
/dev/hdc3 - Extended
/dev/hdc5 - Linux swap (Logical)
/dev/hdc6 - Linux root (Logical) (ext2 file system)

The installation goes fine until I reach the step where I have to install Lilo. The boot loader fails to install. Any help in this matter will be appreciated
