Also it could simply be a matter of not having a configuration line in the 
lilo.conf file to load the initrd...

The latest version of lilo gives messages such as the following when run with 
the -v option, so a kernel package could check that the initrd was mapped for 
an initrd kernel...

Boot image: /vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-lsm
Mapping RAM disk /initrd.img -> boot/initrd.img-2.4.18-lsm
