Yes I have experienced the problem and I found a solution that worked for me. The problem is that possibly your root partition is an ext2 one and the binary kernel that you are presummably using has ext2 as module. When the kernel starts the ext2 module is not loaded and therefore it cannot mount the root partition (well this is my guess). How to solve it?. I think that you need to edit /etc/mkinitrd/modules and uncomment the ext2 line and later you have to do something like mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd-2.4.12-test /lib/modules/2.4.12 and run lilo again. Lilo should have a line like: initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.12-test If you do not have a mkinitrd directory you need to install package initrd-tools and mkcramfs.
