If you check the errata for 4.1 you will see that there is a problem with
lilo.  There is a shellscript you can download to fix it.  The shellscript
didn't work on my system so I just reinstalled the lilo from 4.0.

The lilo configuration file is /etc/lilo.conf.  The prior lilo
configuration file from 4.0 is stored as /etc/lilo.conf.orig.  Backup the
current lilo.conf if you want and copy lilo.conf.orig to lilo.conf.  Then
run lilo by typing lilo or /sbin/lilo at the command prompt.  Next time
you boot lilo should work correctly - assuming it did so under 4.0.

If you want to be safe make sure that you have a working linux boot
floppy before playing with lilo.

Good Luck.
