and you should have an entry in lilo.conf like: image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.17 label = l-17 root = /dev/hda3 initrd = /boot/initrd-2.4.17 restricted
CAREFUL... make sure you actually make the initrd that I've named. The initrd is used to load the modules you need at boot time. If you compiled your kernel, so that you need no special modules loaded at boottime, then you do not need an initrd.
Read man mk_initrd and make sure you have the right modules listed in your /etc/rc.config file.
