Odd. I too have both "/boot" and "/" well beyond the 2GB limit and lilo
works fine. FWIW, here's part of my /etc/lilo.conf file - you might find
some differences with yours in the global options:

boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=100
#message=/boot/message
linear      <--- This might have something to do with it
default=linux

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.10
	label=linux
	read-only
	root=/dev/hda5
	append="hdc=ide-scsi"
	vga=0x030C

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.10.nousb
	label=no_usb
	read-only
	root=/dev/hda5
	append="hdc=ide-scsi nousb"
	vga=0x030C

other=/dev/hda1
	optional
	label=windoze
