Where did you put LILO?
put it in the MBR, or make the win2k partition active again, and boot
through
the NT bootloader.

And to get rid of the 1024 cyl. problem:

boot from the bootfloppy you made, change the "linear" in /etc/lilo.conf to
"lba32"
run `/sbin/lilo -v` and reboot. The RH installer should have done this for
you, but
appearantly it failed at doing so.

Then you don't cross the 1024 th cylinder there.
