Whenever I have grub as boot loader, the system boots up fine, no problems
at all.
If I use lilo as the boot loader, it hangs when it says "Checking root
filesystem".
I don't think I need to post any details about my partitions, since all the information is in
config files which I send attached.
Any idea why it's behaving like this?
Many thanks,
NELSON

I changed what you told me to and it still hangs in the same place.
It founds the init file and all that and it hangs when it says "Checking root filesystem".
I really don't understand what the problem may be, because with grub it starts up with no problems.
That's why I sent both config files, because the one from grub makes it work.
