LILO unstable?

[BoB.gov]

during Slackware 8.0 installation, i installed LILO to the root option. there was also floppy and MBR for me to chose from. i realize mbr is a better choice, but the only way boot magic will detect my linux partition and boot to it is if i use the root option.

upon my 21st or 22nd start up of Slackware, after i clicked on linux in boot magic, instead of loading lilo like it always does, all i see is this:

LIL-

and it just stops working. i fixed the problem, and ran liloconfig and just installed to root again.

has anyone else had this problem? is it likely to happen again?

LILO has a built in debugger, it can tell you what it's doing by how far it gets spelling L-I-L-O, what did LIL say when you looked it up?
