This worked out almost perfect.
First of all I have to say I like your boot up menu much better - I am keeping 
that no matter what.
The new kernel is booting fine now, below is my new lilo.conf file in case 
someone else needs it as reference.
However I have a major problem, which has nothing to do with lilo.
My mouse does not work with the new kernel for same reason.
It is a stone age regular serial mouse nothing fancy - I used to run the gpm 
driver and it was working or lets say it is still working with the old kernel 
but it does not with the new one. So I have switched back to the old kernel 
till I figure out what gos on.
I been reading about modules for the kernel could it be that there is a 
missing or different module in this new kernel?
