That should be your problem. The kernel is missing a driver for your
filesystem. Do

apt-get install mkinitrd

It will get you mkcramfs and ash as well IIRC. Then change
/etc/mkinitrd/config
to list essential modules (like ext2 and perhaps your ethernet driver).
Then execute (assuming your kernel is called 2.4.9)

mkinitrd /lib/modules/2.4.9 > /boot/initrd-2.4.9

and put the initrd line back into lilo.conf pointing at the new initrd
file

Rerun lilo and reboot.

That should help.

If you want to use a tool to generate your zone files, try dnstool.
Info is available at 

http://www.gormand.com.au/tools/dnstool/guide.html

It consists of perl scripts working on a directory structure. A central 
makefile allows you to regenerate zone files and so to change their
serial. 
Then copy just the zonefiles you are interested into your dns area. 
That's my way to do it. YMMV.

I find this tool particularly useful for lots of virtual servers as you 
can link domain definitions to prototype files saving a lot of typing.
