What was needed was acpi=off in lilo config. What confuses me is why it was fine for at least 12 reboots and then all of a sudden stops? Because of the 12 reboots it never even crossed my mind about acpi causing the problem (possibly my lack of knowledge of it as well).

You might try going through the installation routine in expert mode (hit F1 at then type expert to start the installation program). Use existing partitions, but don't reformat them. Select individual package selection when given the chance and then go through the list an only install the appropriate kernel packages. This should be similar similar to rpm -Uvh, which will restore a damaged rpm file. Then continue the installation routine accepting all the default entries (no need to enter new users or passwords as you haven't changed exisiting settings. Worth a try.
