What system do you have?
This may be an issue with the bios. Look in the bios and see if PNP is set and turn it off, then try again.
This problem is noted on Linuxquestions.org, with the following comment;
"Error scenario: Mandrake Linux 8.1 installs flawlessly on systems with K7T266 Pro2 Motherboards, but fails to boot after installation. Error message is "Bad EIP value".
Why: The BiosPNP support in kernel 2.4.8 is broken for the KT266A chipset.
Solution: Press "ESC" when you see the LILO bootloader screen, and type "linux nobiospnp". The system will boot correctly, giving you the change to edit /etc/lilo.conf. Add the "nobiospnp" option to every "append=" line in lilo.conf, then run /sbin/lilo, and reboot. "
Since this is a live CD version, try turning of PNP OS in the bios.
