The are no error messages at all? Does it go through any of the boot?
Use knoppix to access your install (which distro?) and check your lilo config. More info would help here.Me & Myself just ganged up on I....... Now We all have problems..and none of Us are speaking!
bash-3.00$ uname -a
SunOS sparky 5.11 OpenSolaris-swa sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise

No messages at all....Just a black screen.
I'm using Knoppix 3.4....
This is what I added to lilo.conf....
image=/boot/bzImage
label="Linux-2.6.7"
root=/dev/hda1
read-only

This is of course water under the bidge, but since Knoppix is based on debian, I dare to wager a simpel:
Code:[color=orange]apt-cache search kernel-image[/color]
Then, debconf would have told you what you needed to add to lilo. This is from someone who never compiled his own kernel ( I never needed to), so please take my advise with a grain of salt.
Good luck fixing whatever is wrong.
O, by the by, these are the lines from my lilo.conf I think might have some relevance to your problem:
Code:[color=orange] boot=/dev/hda root=/dev/hda1 install=/boot/boot-menu.b default=Linux image=/vmlinuz label=Linux read-only # restricted # alias=1 initrd=/initrd.img [/color]
Good luck and (hopefully still) have fun!

Alright I'm following that guide for the debian kernel, I've done everything so far and when I try to do make xconfig, make menuconfig, or make gconfig I get these errors:
HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep

from /usr/include/netinet/in.h:24,
