Heather, try to disable (as root) the devfs (device file-system) in
/etc/lilo.conf. Mine looks like this :
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=Linux
root=/dev/hda2
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append=" hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi devfs=nomount "
vga=791
read-only
Worked OK for me, when I had the same problem. Remember to run lilo
after editing.
