Comparing the above lines with you lilo.conf the most important difference I see is the location of the kernel. Did you check the kernel at /vmlinuz works? Try this as your kernel line: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.2-2 root=/dev/hda7 ro This also sets the read-only option that was present in your lilo.conf, just in case it isn't already the default.
