Your lilo conf shows you are using scsi emulation, but the line is
wrong. Should be: append=" hdd=ide-scsi" Also, you must have scsi
enabled in the kernel, and 'mkinitrd' a ram disk image as per the
instructions here:
http://mandrakeuser.org/install/kupgrade3.html
here's my lilo conf as an example:
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.2-tom
label=242-tom
root=/dev/hdb5
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.2-tom.img
append=" hdd=ide-scsi"
vga=788
read-only
