Ok- another update. I hooked the hard drive up to my good laptop again, and edited /etc/lilo.conf, changing sda1 to hda1 in both boot=sda1 and root=sda1. I also added nousb as a line in lilo.conf.

But upon reinstall into the old laptop, I get the same errors including the usb error lines. When it's installed and I get the kernel panic error, I can't even go to a command line. It's locked up. Rrrg. I'm so close.

Did you do the "sudo lilo -C" thing - see previous post

I can't run any commands from the actual install. I have to work on the files from the other laptop, since it goes into the kernel panic without giving me an option for a command line, and once it's there, I have to do a hard reset.
