This may be an opportunity for me to exhibit my ignorance.  If you have
the kernel 2.4.x, pre-compiled .deb, you may need to add the line
		initrd=/initrd.img
to your /etc/lilo.conf file in the image=/vmlinuz paragraph.  Of course,
make sure that you use the proper path for your initrd.img file.

This does not begin to exhaust my vast inventory of things unknown.  See
