Here's your lilo.conf file taken from a previous post with my comments
added, and modifications made. Maybe this will help you.

linear
# append = "hdc=ide-scsi" # Shouldn't matter, but I'd comment this
# for testing.
boot = /dev/hda # Installs LILO to the MBR of /dev/hda.
install = /boot/boot.b # Verify this exists.
map = /boot/map # Verify this exists.
message = /boot/boot_message.txt
prompt
timeout = 1200
change-rules
reset
# vga = 773 # Shouldn't matter, but comment this
# for testing.
# End LILO global section
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz # Try a different kernel, maybe even
# a custom compiled one. Also, is
# this a symlink? If so, try the full
# path name for the kernel.
root = /dev/hda3
label = Linux
read-only
# Linux bootable partition config ends

One other thing. Have you tried backing up your lilo.conf and running
liloconfig (as root) again? The logs you posted didn't indicate to me
that anything was wrong with installing LILO, so I'd imagine there's
just some trivial mistake in either your lilo.conf or your /boot
directory. Perhaps /boot/vmlinuz is a broken symlink or something,
though I would imagine lilo would throw an error at that. Why not post
a list of your /boot directory? ' ls -l /boot' if running liloconfig
again doesn't help.
