Dick,

  Here, on my 32-bit desktop /etc/lilo.conf has these entries:

ppend=" vt.default_utf8=0"
boot = /dev/sda
lba32
compact

  ...

image = /boot/vmlinuz-generic-smp
  initrd = /boot/initrd.gz
  root = /dev/sda1
  label = 4.4.157gensmp
  read-only
image = /boot/vmlinuz-huge-smp
  root = /dev/sda1
  label = 4.4.157hugesmp
  read-only

  I'm not sure how to interpret your setup ... oh! Did you make an initial
ram disk (initrd)? If not, that might be the problem. In /boot/README.initrd
you can see the syntax. Briefly you'll run
  mkinitrd -c -k <kernel version> -m ext4 -f ext4 -r /dev/sda2 (perhaps)

  The '-c' means clean the old initrd, '-k' is the kernel version, '-m' is
the modules, '-f' is the filesystem, and '-r' is the root directory.

  I think that Ed or other Slackers on the list can add more insight than
can I on your disk partitioning if setting root = /dev/sda2 doesn't fix the
kernel panic.

Best regards,

Rich
