Hmm I don't think there is a package for a P4. Exactly which package
did you install?
eg
kernel-image-2.4.20-1-686

Sounds like it could be an initrd problem.
Do you have a line like
initrd=/initrd.img
in the relevant section of your /etc/lilo.conf
Sorry I can't help more but I'm not so familiar with the stock Debian
kernels or initrd: I've been rolling my own for some time now.
