Debian lilo won't boot Redhat

[Ross Boylan <ross@biostat.ucsf.edu>]

Here's the lilo.conf for debian that doesn't work for the RH sections.
I've deleted 2 additional stanzas that are variations on the ones you see below:

prompt
timeout=50
#compact
default=debian
boot=/dev/sda
lba32
install=/boot/boot-menu.b
map=/boot/map
vga=0xa

image=/vmlinuz
	label=debian
	initrd=/initrd.img
	root=/dev/sda7

# modified slightly from redhat
#install=/boot/boot.b
#message=/boot/message
#linear

image=/red/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-18.9smp
	label=linux
	initrd=/red/boot/initrd-2.4.20-18.9smp.img
	read-only
	append="hdb=ide-scsi root=LABEL=/"
	root=/dev/sda2


In contrast, here's RH's original lilo.conf, again deleting a nearly
identical second entry.  This works if I chroot /red /bin/bash and do
lilo:

prompt
timeout=50
default=linux
boot=/dev/sda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message
linear

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-18.9smp
	label=linux
	initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.20-18.9smp.img
	read-only
	append="hdb=ide-scsi root=LABEL=/"
