First thing to check is in lilo.conf you have written root=/dev/hda2
or whatever the partition is and not root=/dev/hda !!
The other thing you might check is that the boot sector in your hard disk
might be damaged (only happened to me once!). You might get around this
by using lilo -l

I hope that helps
