You may have a problem with the large disk. RTFM LILO WRT "linear"
option.
What kind of drive is this? IDE or SCSI (more below). From the
/dev/hda references, I'm assuming IDE.

Buy more RAM! <g> Not related to your current problem, but....

You need to re-run LILO when you install a new kernel, if you're booting
with LILO.

Hmmm... Looking at the SCSI options, you've configured AIC7XXX as
a module. Are you using a SCSI disk? If so, you'll need an initrd
to mount your HD, as modules are loaded from disk *after* you boot.
Note the dilemma -- need module to read disk, need to read disk to
get module.... Better yet, compile the SCSI support into the kernel.
If you don't need the support, drop the SCSI stuff.
