	   through. However, when I go into the /boot directory, nothing is

	       First sector of /dev/hda5 doesn't have a valid boot signature.

From lilo's manual:

   First sector of <device> doesn't have a valid boot signature
     The first sector of the specified device does not appear to be a valid
    boot sector. You might have confused the device name.*

  *  Because different partition programs may display the partitions in a
    different order, it is possible that what you think is your first
    partition isn't /dev/hda1, etc. A good method to verify the content of
    a partition is to try to mount it.

Are you sure that /dev/hda5 is the correct partition?  Normally if you
have one partition it would be /dev/hda1; there is no reason to use
logical or extended partitions.
