Hi Nathan,

For some reason, my old lilo.conf had /dev/hda as the boot device.  After
I upgraded, the boot device changed to /dev/hda1, same as yours.  I had
the same problems you did, i.e. LILO would never start completely.  Also,
something similar happened to one of our SCSI setups.  I ended up doing
the following then everything worked:

boot=/dev/hda
root=current

For our SCSI system we did the same but used /dev/sda instead.  After the
change re-run LILO and then everytrhing worked for us.
