Hi all!

Well, first of all, I'd like to thank you all for your help. I owe you a
beer (or two)!

Now everything seemed to work when running lilo. I then boot from DOS, run
dupdate to update the firmware, and tried to boot from Linux, but, this is
what I get:

and it hangs there. What do you think about it?

It might be because you have a large kernel.  One of the effects that
the patch does is limit the size of the kernel you can use.  I think
that LILO should have warned about it, or not installed it, but I may
be wrong.  What size kernel are you using?  I think it should not be
larger than 450K or so.  Try to make a smaller kernel.
