Hi..
Did you use the mkbootdisk command or use the create bootdisk from the
install screen??
I found on an earlier the installscreen bootdisk did not work but the
mkbootdisk was ok....
You can always copy /etc/lilo to /root and create a bootdisk from that or
if you have reconfigured the kernel by doing a make bzdisk
