Hey, I know the answer to that one... :-) Really fresh, spanking new
knowledge, too.
You need to make a boot-time ramdisk.
# cd /boot
# man mkinitrd
# mkinitrd initrd-2.4.1.img 2.4.1
If you use reiserfs it wouldn't hurt to add this switch: "--with reiserfs".
Then finish this off by going into linuxconf -> boot mode -> LILO conf. (or
edit lilo.conf) and specify the initial ramdisk you just created. Then it
should boot...
