Change /etc/lilo.conf to look something like this.

boot = /dev/hda
vga = 5
read-only
prompt
timeout = 30
  image = /boot/vmlinuz
  label = linux
  root = /dev/hda1
  initrd = /boot/initrd
  append = "mem=256M"
  image  = /boot/vmlinuz.suse
  label  = suse
  root   = /dev/hda1
  initrd = /boot/initrd.suse
  append = "mem=256M


Save the file and type

lilo

{You can only do this as root}

Reboot and enjoy.
