Where is silo.conf? And if you have a separate partition for /boot directory, do you have the symbolic link
Code:

/boot/boot -> ./


(I think either the silo install or baselayout install should set this up, but for that to happen, your boot partition must be mounted on /boot. If your /boot partition otherwise looks good, you can set up that symbolic link by hand just by
Code:

mount /dev/<boot-partition>  /boot   # If necessary
cd /boot
ln -s ./ boot


If /boot is a separate partition, don't forget the step 'silo -C /boot/silo.conf' . Although if you are getting as far as you are, you must have taken care of this.)

Hope this is of some use.
Regards,
