I got this error a couple times myself.  What had happened was, I'd
screwed up on my LILO configuration in /etc/lilo.conf.  My RedHat
configuration is on my 2nd HD (/dev/hdc) and my SuSE is on /dev/hda.  I
ran LILO from SuSE after reinstalling it.

Check your /etc/lilo.conf and make sure it points at the proper vmlinuz.
