I have the same problem with booting Mandrake 9.1 using Debian Lilo. I 
can boot other distros OK (like slack) but I get the same kernel panic 
message when booting mandrake 9.1

I don't have RedHat, so I can't verify that, but it seems we have the 
same problem.

Any suggestions anyone?

I can post my lilo.conf and fstab if you want

Cheers
