i just did that on my server at work -- when you do the install,
lots of text flies by and of course some of it is important.
TIP: you can scroll up and down your console buffer [and
xterm or rxvt windows] using shift-pageUp and
shift-pageDown.
there's a line you need in your /etc/lilo.conf inside the
"image=/vmlinuz" section:
initrd=/initrd.img
my whole stanza now looks like this -- pretty plain vanilla:
image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
read-only
initrd=/initrd.img
# restricted
# alias=1
of course, the install process should also make sure that the
file /initrd.img exists -- here's mine:
# ls -l /initrd.img
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root initrd.img -> /boot/initrd.img-2.4.18-k6
the file it's linked to will depend on your architecture -- mine
is an AMD K6.
and whenever you munge lilo.conf, be sure to run lilo
afterwards, which reads the config file and actually writes the
boot info to your disk.
of course, there may be other gremlins loose in your situation,
but this is something easy to try.

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #42 from Pietro Cagnoni <pcagnoni@mclink.net>
and Kent <ktb@nixnotes.org>
:
Would you like to DISABLE CONTROL-ALT-DEL? Piece of cake.
Just comment the line out in /etc/inittab
# What to do when CTRL-ALT-DEL is pressed.
ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t1 -a -r now
and then "kill -HUP 1" to have init re-read the file.
