Well since you are "grasping at straws"...
1. You did _run_ lilo after changing /etc/lilo.conf, yes?
2. What does rdev /boot/vmlinuz-2.0.36 give you?
(although your "root=/dev/hda1" should over-ride)
3. Should you have the argument "compact" in your lilo.conf?
4. You don't have one of those BIOSes with a "hole" in the memory do you?
While I have had this sort of thing happen before, rather than try to find
out what was wrong I...
Tried other "resc" disks for the installation (this has worked).
I have also compiled (on another machine) and installed a new kernel
and that worked.
The "thing" that bothers me about this whole problem (yours and the ones
that I have experienced) is that I thought that the kernel that gets
installed in /boot is the exact same kernel that IS on the resc disk which
suggests to me that the problem "can not be" the kernel itself but must be
related to lilo and associated files (experience NOT withstanding).
