I've been playing around with the *opposite* problem all day (moving linux to my new Cheetah and consolidating my Doze partitions onto one IDE drive), and that was one issue I ran into. You can also try this in yer lilo.conf: disk=/dev/sda bios=0x80 disk=/dev/hda bios=0x81 to force lilo to see the SCSI drive as the 'first' drive, for testing purposes at least.
