After having a sit/think for a few minutes, I found that in my
/etc/lilo.conf:

prompt
timeout="50"
default=linux
boot="/dev/hda"
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message
lba32
vga="1"

image="/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-3"
        label="linux"
        initrd="/boot/initrd-2.4.18-3.img"
        read-only
        root="/dev/hda3"
        append="hdd=ide-scsi idebus=66 ide0=ata66 ide1=ata66"

...was supposed to have:

        root="/dev/hda2"

Edited, reran lilo, booted NORMALLY!!! (Thank the Pengie God!)

Hated to think that my beloved and trusty RH 7.3+ was a goner...
Thanks for the help mate - made me look a bit deeper into the abyss...
