How does it not work? Does lilo not run (i.e. refuses to install in
/dev/sda)? Do you get a LILO prompt? Does the kernel begin to load and
but fail to load the initrd?

It sounds like these distributions are using an initrd, and your lilo
setup is not passing the necessary parameters to the kernel to get it
mounted, maybe?

Here's the lilo.conf for debian that doesn't work for the RH sections.
I've deleted 2 additional stanzas that are variations on the ones you see below:
prompt
timeout=50
#compact
default=debian
boot=/dev/sda
lba32
install=/boot/boot-menu.b
map=/boot/map
vga=0xa
image=/vmlinuz

I got a system with Red Hat 9 preinstalled, booting with lilo. After
making some space, I installed Debian (testing) on it. I thought it
would be good to preserve the ability to boot into RH, so I mounted its
partitions under /red in linux, and modified its lilo.conf to use these
new paths. (Tha
