Might it be the initrd issue? You seem to be using a prebuilt kernel
which uses initrd. I just tried mkboot with a 2.4.17 kernel, and it
works just fine.
Try examing the lilo.conf file on the floppy to see if there is an
appropriate initrd line.

Thanks for the pointer. This is what I was looking for. I ran:
mkboot /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.17-686-smp
However, this creates a floppy that panics when it tries to mount the
root filesystem. Something about device 302. My root filesystem is on
/dev/hda2. I tried adding the -r /dev/hda2 option to no avail.
Thoughts?
