So, here is what happens: I've switched from net4801 to a new net5501. I am using the same HDD as before which worked find under 4801. So regardless of the grub/lilo - is definitely something with 5501 - for my case anyways. I have swapped then to net4801 and the thing runs fine - it boots (hot/cold) without the need of serial console.
