The kernel cannot found your root file system. Are u sure u have given the
correct partition info for root in /etc/lilo.conf ? Have u run lilo -v
after that. Post your lilo.conf and the output of fdisk -l /dev/hda.
my lilo.conf in office is as follows :
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
default=kernel-2.2.16-3
password="xxx"
restricted
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-3
label=kernel-2.2.16-3
read-only
root=/dev/hda6
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14-5.0
label=kernel-2.2.14-5
read-only
root=/dev/hda6
Warm Regards
