1. something in the in the pkg is adding root=LABEL=linux_root to my /etc/lilo.conf
2. lilo reports error at end of kernel install,
3. manual edit /etc/lilo.conf and changing root=LABEL=linux_root to
root=/dev/root fixes the error,
4. using lilo revalidates file
log follows

There is an error when regenerating lilo, you may have to check your /etc/lilo.conf
what the /etc/lilo.conf has for the above error is
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21pre4-6mdk
label=2421-6
root=LABEL=linux_root
