And what is the reason of this bug? Without any more information I
cannot help! What is the boot medium and the boot partition? Is it
a raid or not? How looks the resulting lilo.conf?

Have a nice day.

@Joachim Wiedorn (ad-debian)

i am very very very sorry for delay to reply to your comment i apologize again, please accept my apologies.
so what i did to fix this bug very simple... i told my friend through skype to control remotely my computer using -team viewer- and this is exactly what he did: (he opened gnome-terminal)

sudo apt-get purge lilo
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get install lilo
sudo nano /etc/lilo.conf

and then he did some changes to that file(lilo.conf) after he finished he told me "you install lilo but you forget to configure it"
so obviously problem was related to lilo.conf file.

Again... i apologize for delay in reply to you my friend -Joachim Wiedorn- and,
Thank you very much.
