Sure it's logical!!!

WHY?
You can make 4 primary partitions

It seems to me very strange to make on the same primary partition even 
splitted a linux and a dos logical partition because they use one 
different and incompatible file system. I think you have to make two 
primary partition, one for dos and another one for linux, try it!
Have you upgraded your
etc/fstab
etc/lilo.conf
you MUST do it!
If you haven't, lilo attemp to mount your kernel on eg: hda1 and your 
kernel is now under eg hda2, it tries to find the kernel on hda1 and 
it doesn't find it!!!
It's saying to itself "where is it??", I don't find it!!! panic!!!
then print to you "kernel panic"

I advice you I have made on my computer:
one dd:
linux:
hda1	/
hda2	/home
hda3	swap
dos:
hda4	/WIN95
and now if you want more partition, you can do logical partition.
I hope yon can fix your linux system.
