Try placing the root= in your mkinitrd.conf.
# If this is set to probe mkinitrd will try to figure out what's needed to
# mount the root file system. This is equivalent to the old PROBE=on setting.
ROOT="/dev/hdb1 ext3"
substitute your file system, ext2, etc. Quotes are necessary for correct
par
in lilo.conf , enter line
root=/dev/*d**
for example root=/dev/hda1

Is ext2 compiled into your kernel? If it is a module, you might need to
add it to your initrd.
If you have a serial console, a full boot output would help. Is it a
standard Deb

How does it not work? Does lilo not run (i.e. refuses to install in
/dev/sda)? Do you get a LILO prompt? Does the kernel begin to load and
but fail to load the initrd?

It sounds like these distributions are using an initrd, and your lilo
setup is not passing the necessary parameters to the kernel to get it
mounted, maybe?

Windows rewrites the MBR on install and makes itself the default OS by
setting it's own partition active.
To fix this you can either:
1) Boot from a Linux boot disk (such as you hopefully made during the
Debian install) and reinstall Lilo.
2) Boot from a DOS/Win9XX boot disk and run fdisk to set

windows installations tend to take over the boot partition, and windows
per se is unable to see anything but itself. if you've made a linux boot
disk, you can get in and hack lilo. otherwise, i think you need to get
hold of something like partition magic to restore the original mbr. i've
never used
