Hello, JFFS is beyond me, but geometry issues have been described over and over again on this list. You could try fdisk-ing the CF again with the real CHS values the Soekris combios sees as args to fdisk. Still, Lilo would usually display as screenful of 0x0N's if it fails to load the kernel:
"If the BIOS signals an error when LILO is trying to load a boot image, the respective error code is displayed." (/usr/share/doc/lilo[-doc]/usage.ps, "Disk error codes") So the problem seems to lie within the kernel - after all it's the kernel that reboots, not Lilo (AFAIK Lilo can't do that). Maybe try another kernel version, I've seen that work before - in a case where exactly the same thing happened. Kernels have bugs too.
