LILO problem


The script didn't work through the slackware menu, so I started to do it manually by configuring the /etc/lilo.conf and enter this command to test it

Code:
lilo -v -t -b /dev/sda
it produce this error

Code:
Warning: Device 0x0800: Inconsistent partition table, 2nd entry
      CHS address in PT: 1023:137:12 --> LBA (16443137)
      LBA address in PT: 10242048 --> CHS (637:137:13)
Fatal: Either FIX-TABLE or IGNORE-TABLE must be specified
If not sure, first try IGNORE-TABLE (-P ignore)
so I try

Code:
lilo -P IGNORE-TABLE
but still produce the same error.
Heres my partition table:
Code:
sda1             Primary   Hidden W95 FAT32 (LBA)          
sda2     boot    Primary   NTFS             [^K]
sda3             Primary   Linux ext3       [/]
sda5             Logical   Linux swap
sda6             Logical   Linux ReiserFS   [/home]
