I don't have two the same. They are both IBM but the product and revision numbers are quite different for each drive. The scsiinfo command gives me the drives' serial numbers which are

Ok I am looking at the Lilo source now, it all seems to happen in device.c at about line 425
Can you set the verbosity to level 4 "lilo -v 4", run lilo and send the output.

NOTE: /dev/sda is used to hold the boot record and also holds two small extra partitions which are later mounted. The main operating system disc is /dev/sdb which is where all kernel images are stored.
I hope the output above means more to you than it does to me :-)
