I never use Mandrake's kernels; I always do my own from generic kernel
sources. Sometimes, it causes problems; sometimes not. Especially when I
want to patch the kernel for Win4Lin.

I got the same thing, when using generic kernel sources. 

Don't load devfs in lilo.conf, and you'll be able to boot.

Re: [expert] OT: Linux Router Project

Guess you never noticed that Dave Cinege, the creator of LRP, signs his name
as
Dave "Kill a Cop" Cinege?

And there are many variants of LRP, most MUCH easier to install and
configure, than Dave's "official" version of LRP. See
http://lrp.steinkuehler.net, for a start. Or the clearinghouse of all
LRP-releated material, http://lrp.c0wz.com.
