That one made me think - the error indicated that it could not find the hardware. Did an lspci and noticed that the kernel had not detected the PCI bus (this is a Shuttle SS40G system, which has 99% of things onboard, like network etc, and only 2 pci slots). I remembered I had a simialiar problem installing Mandrake Cooker on this machine before I opted for Debian, so tried the same trick (added append="pci=bios,biosirq" to the lilo.conf) and bingo - it all works :) Thanks Nick (and thanks for coping with my ignorance of Linux - Getting better, slowly ;)).
