To my frustration, upgrading a server over 200 miles from me remotely has failed. The dist-upgrade worked just fine, and then I decided to reboot it. A few minutes later attempts to contact the machine failed, ping timeouts, ssh timeouts, etc etc.

I contacted someone who is at the location to tell me what they see on the computer's console, all they see is LI_ with the _ blinking. This tells me that LILO started, and never finished.

Seems you simply forgot to run 'lilo' after upgrading. Boot from a floppy disk or similar, run 'lilo' (or perhaps 'liloconfig') to upgrade lilo.config and reboot. Worked for me before. :)
