Taken at face value - this won't work.
Firstly - there isnt a directory specified in the line
image=vmlinuz
This directive simply tells the map installer /sbin/lilo the
path to the kernel image - the problem here is that theres no path.
It should say
image=/boot/vmlinuz
Second - the root patition is not specified correctly
It should say
root=/dev/hda2
.
This directive tells the map installer were to re-install LILO to - youve set it to install to the boot sector of the Root partition - if I remember correctly you can use fdisk to flag the partition as bootable - see the fdisk options - I cant remeber which it is.
Other than this - just set it to
boot=/dev/hda
this will instruct the map instaler to re-install LILO to the MBR
If you decide to make this change (along with the other changes) - then go to a command line and as Root user - type
/sbin/lilo
You must do this for the changes you make to have any effect.
