What kernel version exactly? Did you make sure you selected the right processor type, right choice of memory support and so on? This shouldn't matter too much, but you never really know. If you made it manually, did you "make zImage" or "make bzImage"? The more recent kernels all seem to need bzImage if you compile in some bits and pieces. Does LILO come up with "Starting <name>....." or just with the dots? The first would mean that it at least found something to load, just the dots would be... well... strange. -- Embedded Linux -- True multitasking!
