GRUB OWNS
I fought for six hours trying to get LILO on my new drive (I could never get it past L 01 01 01 01 ... or LI). I even tried making a 10mb partition at the beginning of the disk and copying my kernel there.
I installed GRUB out of desperation.
Not only did it work the first time, but it's wonderfully more advanced than LILO! You can actually browse ReiserFS partitions from the boot menu! It's insane.
I'm now booting into this:
[~]$ df -m
Filesystem 1M-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 72793 2509 70285 4% /
[~]$ mount
/dev/hda1 on / type reiserfs (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
