Ah. I didn't notice this earlier. According to your "/etc/lilo.conf" file:

but you don't have any labels by that name:

You need to either set default="Linux2.4.27-2-386", or you need to
change the label in your first stanza so it looks like:

By the way, if you really have a 386 machine, this kernel is fine, but if you
