  You should resize your extended partition to fill all free space. Then
 create linux partitions as logical partitions. They (linux partitions)
 will probably be named like hda6, hda7 and so on. To resize partitions
 without dataloss you can use Powerquest PartitionMagic. It never failed
 me. (Backup your data.)
  Don't worry about 1024+ cylinder number, i think LILO knows how to boot
 kernel from beyond this limit.
