The above error messages look like the root filesystem can not be found. What is the lilo.conf file you're using, and what drive/partition is your root filesystem on?
Sorry, I should have included that first time!

root=/dev/sdb2I do have other versions of the kernel out there that I could have put in my lilo.conf (listing from my /boot directory).

The 2.4.18-14 kernel is the one that I was initially trying to boot from that would leave me stuck in "Loading linux....". I did a new mkinitrd on it, hoping that would fix it, but it didn't.
As a side note (and maybe unrelated), I notice I've received a lot of the following email messages from cron this morning:
