It sounds like your problem is with the LILO bootloader and not the kernel.
If you can successfully boot up DSL using the floppy disk, then the problem is not the kernel.
I would try one of these alternatives:
1) Try installing the grub bootloader instead of lilo.
2) Use the boot floppy instead of the hard drive bootloader.
3) Boot up in MSDOS and then use the loadlin program to automatically launch linux in your AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS files.
Search the forums for keyword
grub
or
loadlin
and search ALL FORUMS and FROM THE BEGINNING Or NEWER for more help.
Also, another possibility is that you don't have enough memory for the fullsize minirt.gz file in your computer.
In this case, do this:
Boot from the floppy drive.
Mount your hard drive.
Rename the minirt.gz file on your hard drive to minirt.gz.old
and then copy the minirt.gz file from your floppy disk over to your hard drive.
Then try rebooting without the floppy.
It might just work.
