Can't boot from hard disk



Just installed 2.1 (slink) from cdrom. Boots from floppy OK, but hangs
after "Loading Linux................." The machine is a Pentium 200 with
96 MB of RAM. The master EIDE hd has 6.4 GB and is partitioned like this:

  device       start        stop    mount point
/dev/hda1         1           65     /
/dev/hda2        66           81     swap
/dev/hda3        82          337     /usr
/dev/hda5       338          465     /usr/local
/dev/hda6       466          784     /home

The /etc/lilo.conf looks like this:

boot=/dev/hda1
root=/dev/hda1
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
vga=normal
delay=20
image=/vmlinuz
    label=Linux
    read-only

/vmlinuz is a link to /boot/vmlinuz-2.0.36, which is as it should be.

The frustrating thing is I've done this installation on another machine
and it's worked just fine.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
