You may need to hand edit lilo.conf and change /dev/hda  to  /dev/hda1 or whatever is appropriate for where the boot image is stored, I've had that problem before with SuSE.

When I try to boot, the system hangs (can't ctrl-alt-del) at the partition check for hda.  Anyone have any ideas?  fdisk says that the partition info is ok.  Thanks for any help you can give.
