That should be the 2.4.31 bareacpi. Could you post your lilo.conf file here ? With the modifications you've made to it ?

I tried the different file, but that had exactly the same problem.
I'm not too bothered, I'll have a go at recompiling the kernel tomorrow night when I get home from work.
For info, my LILO config file is:-
# LILO configuration file
# generated by 'liloconfig'
#
# Start LILO global section
boot = /dev/hda
message = /boot/boot_message.txt
prompt
timeout = 1200
# Override dangerous defaults that rewrite the partition table:
change-rules
reset
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x256
vga = 773
# Normal VGA console
# vga = normal
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x64k
# vga=791
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x32k
# vga=790
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x256
# vga=773
# VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x64k
# vga=788
# VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x32k
# vga=787
# VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x256
# vga=771
# VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x64k
# vga=785
# VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x32k
# vga=784
# VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x256
# vga=769
# End LILO global section
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/hda1
label = Linux
read-only
# Linux bootable partition config ends
image = /boot/bzImage
root = /dev/hda1
label = LinuxACPI
read-only
My change highlighted in red, I basically copied the bootable partition config, with the change to LinuxACPI. That part appears in the boot loader and can be selected and it starts off ok, then gives error messages as mentioned.
Whether you can think of anything I need to do differently or not, thanks for the advice anyway.
