Eh? I'm confused by that last sentance. Can you re-state it?

Ok, so wait a minute. It was trying to load /dev/hda1 as your root
partition, and failing?
If so, when you did the step to make linux bootable from hard disk,
what partitions did it offer you for installation?
If you could, please include the bad /etc/lilo.conf that the system made, and
/var/log/installer.log after installation, if possible.
And how did you fix it? Just put the root partition on /dev/hda1 and
swap on /dev/hda2?
I'd like to track this problem down but other people aren't getting it
AFAIK and I need more information.
