Bad news from another Linux machine having (partial) boot problems.

I'm running a single hard drive, single OS RH Linux box - LILO is set to =
boot from=20
(obviously) /dev/hda.  On booting from the HD, it makes it as far as =
"LI", then....nothing.

On booting from floppy - everything is just fine.

Here's my lilo.conf file:

boot=3D/dev/hda
map=3D/boot/map
install=3D/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=3D50
image=3D/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.35-1
            label=3Dlinux
            root=3D/dev/hda1
            read-only

Any thoughts?  If you need any more info about the system (I'm sure =
you'll) just holler.
