RH kernel upgraded; can't boot

[Dave Sill <de5@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I upgraded my desktop system from the 1.0 Red Hat version to 1.0.1
using the RPM's:

  kernel-2.4.3-SGI_XFS_1.0.1.i686.rpm
  kernel-BOOT-2.4.3-SGI_XFS_1.0.1.i386.rpm
  kernel-doc-2.4.3-SGI_XFS_1.0.1.i386.rpm
  kernel-headers-2.4.3-SGI_XFS_1.0.1.i386.rpm

Adjusted lilo.conf to:

    boot=/dev/sda
    map=/boot/map
    install=/boot/boot.b
    prompt
    timeout 50
    message=/boot/message
    linear
    default=linux
    
    image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.3-SGI_XFS_1.0.1
            label=linux
            read-only
            root=/dev/sda6

Re-ran lilo.

When I boot, I get:

    request_module[block_major_8]: Root fs not mounted
    VFS: Cannot open root device "806" or 08:06
    Please append a correct "root=" boot option
    Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:06

Booting with:

    linux root=/dev/sda6

Doesn't work, either.

I'm dead in the water...
