Since there was only one other response to this ...
As far as I know LILO doesn't deal with
any file systems. The kernel deals with file systems. You need to create an initrd to handle btrfs (e.g. mkinitrd -c -k 2.6.37.6 -m btrfs -f btrfs -r /dev/sda1 ) or compile a kernel with btrfs built in. Of course you also have to then configure LILO appropriately.
I've not used btrfs myself so I'm not speaking from experience with btrfs, only from experience with other file systems.
If you've had success in the past booting from the
huge kernel and not needing an initrd then perhaps the huge kernel doesn't have btrfs compliled in.
If you don't want to deal with initrd then you need to use the file systems supported by the huge kernel or recompile the kernel yourself with the file system support you need.
