Apparently, LILO was installed correctly, and accessed the /vmlinuz file without (disk i/o) errors. It seems, though, that the correct data wasn't loaded, which could mean a disk geometry problem (in fact, that's the only thing I can think of). I asked you this before: do you have LBA mode or Large mode turned on in the BIOS settings for your harddisk? How many cylinders does it say your HD has? If this number is bigger than 1024, you're in trouble. If either Large or LBA mode is on, try the other one (and prepare to reinstall!). (The BC manual explains all this in the section on Cylinder-Head-Sector translation). If you have to reinstall, hold off on W95 and try Linux first; W95 will overwrite your MBR, but BC is easy to reinstall. Your lilo.conf looks OK to me - and from the above messages, LILO itself appears to be working fine (it's the kernel uncompression code that complains).
