R12y,
Do not run lilo if your intend to use grub.
Running lilo would have overwritten the grub bootloader. I haven't used
lilo as a bootloader in some time, maybe there's a problem with it.
Boot from your install CD into rescue mode, chroot /mnt/sysimage, and
run grub-install. That should put grub back as your bootloader. Then
reboot (reboot command).
