Hi jjasghar,
I will transcript some portions of the LILO README
Quote:

When LILO loads itself, it displays the word "LILO". Each letter is printed
before or after performing some specific action. If LILO fails at some
point, the letters printed so far can be used to identify the problem. This
is described in more detail in the technical overview.
Quote:

L <error> ... The first stage boot loader has been loaded and started,
but it can't load the second stage boot loader. The two-digit error
codes indicate the type of problem. (See also section "Disk error
codes".) This condition usually indicates a media failure or a geometry
mismatch (e.g. bad disk parameters, see section "Disk geometry").
As you had problems with both boot loaders, probably you have a disk geometry error. If you need further help, please inform your disk size, if your bios does some complaint of it, and the setup your bios gives to it.
Best regards.
