Lilo Gives Error when Booting up in Redhat 9.


I am getting this error upon booting up with lilo:

Quote:
mounting root filesystem
mount: error 6 mounting ext3
pivotroot: pivot_root(/sysroot, sysroot/initrd) failed 2
umount /initrd/proc failed: 2
kernel panic: no init found. Try passing init = option to kernel.
My lilo.conf looks like this:

Quote:
prompt
timeout=50
default=linux
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message
lba32

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-8
label=linux
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.20-8.img
read-only
append="hdc=ide-scsi root=LABEL=/"
root=/dev/hda3

other=/dev/hda2
optional
label=DOS

And my drive structure is like this:

Quote:
Ignoring extra extended partition 4

Disk /dev/hda: 122.9 GB, 122942324736 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14946 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 2 852 6835657+ 5 Extended
/dev/hda2 853 13524 101787840 c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/hda3 13525 14162 5124735 83 Linux
/dev/hda4 * 14163 14946 6297480 85 Linux extended
/dev/hda5 2 852 6835626 7 HPFS/NTFS

What could be wrong? Its a dual boot machine with RH 9 and WinXp pro.
Also, i can boot into redhat just fine if i use the redhat bootdisk. So it looks like a lilo problem to me.

Thanks.
