"EDBA too big."

I installed Knoppix on my HD on a separate partition along with Windows 98
and Mandrake 9.0, using Mandrake's LILO. Everything worked well except for
some language problems. Then I took it off.

I have now repeated the installation, with the only difference being
partition sizes. On trying to boot Knoppix, I get the message "EDBA too
big." A Google post says that I need to upgrade LILO, but I am using the
same LILO as before.

Any ideas please?

Another question: Knoppix' HD installer seems not to support a
multi-partition setup. How can I do this?

TIA,

Doug.
