Looks like it can't find the initrd image.
I use lilo, and my config file is :
-------------------------------------------------------------
lba32
boot=/dev/sdc
root=/dev/sdc1
bitmap=/boot/debianlilo.bmp
bmp-colors=1,,0;9,,0
bmp-table=106p,144p,2,9,144p

large-memory
map=/boot/map
vga=normal
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-amd64
label="lenny 2.6.26"
initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-amd64
read-only
other=/dev/sdb
label="etch"
-------------------------------------------------------------
How many HDDs have you in your system?
According to your lilo configuration Lenny is installed on sdc and sdb is Etch.
It could be that the HDDs have different device names when you boot Lenny. e.g. Lenny is sdb and etch is sdc.
To rule the above out, you could disconnect all HDDs except the one where you installed Lenny on. Change your lilo config accordingly
and see what happens.
The problems are from the beginning ; both lilo and grub couldn't be
installed during the lenny installation.
I installed lilo with the CD rescue mode.
On what HDD/partiton did you install lilo?
Can please someone give me an advice ?
Thanks, regards,
