Usually the line append=" hdd=ide-scsi" is in there to accomodate a
CD-RW or some CDroms that need scsi emulation. If you have neither, try
removing that line from lilo.conf. You may or may not still need an
initrd.img. It's not entirely clear to me, but you may need ram disk
suppport if you leave scsi emulation in the kernel, or use the fb device
for Aurora (ie, vga=788). I believe the safe thing to do would be to go
ahead and make an initrd.img. I think that's why your kernel can't load
into ram (ie, black screen)
