    The new file was saved as /etc/lilo.conf, right?

    Ok. Your problem is that LILO was installed in the MBR originally, and
    this new config file puts LILO in the first partition. You have LILO
    installed in two places, and the version in the MBR (the old version) is
    being used.

    Change the "boot" line to /dev/hda instead of /dev/hda1, re-run lilo, and
    it should work.
