I am using mtd pacthed 21 version of lilo.

I was thinking to try the version 22.
I'll try this tonight, and I'll let you know if I
get any further.

I am not sure, what is map installer?
I think I should have a map= line in the lilo.conf.
Is this correct?
What is in this map file?

Are you using the version 5 of the M-Sys firmware?
Maybe this is the problem?
