Someone suggested that I might have been booting in in rescue mode, but I just
rebooted without the install CD in the drive, and same thing. I choose "Linux"
as my lilo boot choice.

Here's my lilo.conf entry:

image = /boot/vmlinuz
    label = Linux
    initrd = /boot/initrd
    optional
    root = /dev/hda1
    vga = 0x31a
    append = "splash=silent desktop resume=/dev/hda2 showopts"

Still no volumes mounted and no ethernet on reboot. Can anyone offer any
suggestions?
