Looks like it can't find the initrd image.

How many HDDs have you in your system?
3 : sda, sdb (etch) and sdc (lenny)

Can you boot into Etch or does it fail too?
What filesystem do you use for lenny?

In your lilo.conf I would remove any options with "*bmp* and the "install" option.

Had you a chance to disconnect drive sda & sdb as I would keep it as simple as possible. Hence remove also any options with bmp and the install option in your lilo configuration.

On what HDD/partiton did you install lilo?
On sdc. I tried sda, but the problem subsist.


Do you boot directly into Lilo or do you use another bootloader that starts Lilo?

I disabled the large-memory option but no effects...


Please reply to the list, so other people can follow.


Cheers,
Christian
