I forgot about something. become root and install the package
module-init-tools-0.9.11a-4mdk. I'm not sure what mirror this is on, so
just try urpmi'ing it. When it's done installing, type:
'generate-modprobe.conf >> /etc/modprobe.conf'
When it's done (it may have a few errors), try rebooting and see if that
fixes it.
If that didn't work, then read the man page on mkinitrd. 'man mkinitrd'
has alot of good info on this problem. I suggest first trying a new initrd,
but creating it as follows:
'mkinitrd --preload=ext3 /boot/initrd-2.6.3-mm1.img 2.6.3-mm1'
You have to delete the old one first, or pass the -f option to the command.
Re-run lilo and try once more.

one-and-a-half truths.
