You almost definetly need a disk=/dev/sda bios=0x80 in your lilo.conf. [I happen to be booting right now from a machine with mixed ide/scsi with the scsi loading before the ide drive...] Finally, linux (the kernel) doesn't really have anything to do with the bootloader, other than the fact that the bootloader loads it, and the boot mapper interacts with the disks through it.
