get the new lilo from www.freshmeat.net It can handle partitions bigger than 1024.

Another thing: To avoid trouble with Windows 95/98 you should change the ID of the extended partition from 05 to 0F (LBA extended), or better since you have only Linux partitions in the extended partition, change ID 05 to 85 (Linux extended).

This can be done using Linux fdisk. For some reason the ID is not in your output, but since the description is "Extended", the current ID (type) may be 05.
