^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That means your "kernel make has failed".
Once again i suggest you redo;
'make config'
and select more options as "modules" then do;
'make dep clean zImage'
Or even beter considering the problems reported by lilo, do;
'make zdisk' (place a floppy in drive a:) or /dev/fd0 as we call it.
Then boot from that disk.

As to what drive 0x82 is i dont know, (i used to have a list but i seem to
have mislaid it), it possably indicates that you are trying to boot from a
drive "beyond" the reach of lilo, ie, a drive on the secondary IDE
controler, just what is the system configuration.??? and where is you "/"
root filesystem located.??

What you see is;
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
/bin/sh scripts/Configure arch/i386/config.in
config.in has all the options in it, the script "Configure" reads that file
and places configuration questions onto your screen.
Once you have done make config and you are "sure" you have all options
correct, you can do (for the following compile) 'make oldconfig', that will
fail if you do, 'make distclean' or 'make mrproper', as those make options
will clean out ALL old config files.
