Default still have boot loader problem


I've post once because I have installed Fedora Core 4
but I cannot boot. When I try to boot, LILO and I
see a 'Community 10.1' graphics screen. This is remnant
of when I tried to install Mandrake about a year ago.
Mandrake did not work because I have an AMD-64 bit
CPU and I didn't realize at that time that Mandrake
was compile for 32-bit Intel.

I've gotten some advice regarding running
grub-install. I have been able to run grub-install and it
looks like it runs ok, but when I try to reboot,
I get the same old 'Community 10.1' screen and a panic.

My guess is that LILO is installed on the MBR and
I have not been able to overwrite it with GRUB.

Last night I even tried rerunning the full installation
being sure to respond yes that I want to install GRUB.

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to boot the FC 4
that is installed?
