How big is this file and where is it located?

It proves you aren't booting a 2.4 kernel properly, nothing else.

What does 'run vmlinuz' mean? Does it load into memory, panic and reboot the
machine? Once the OS is in memory, it won't go back to LILO without a
reboot. Assuming the option is called linux, have you tried booting 'linux
root=/dev/hda2 single'?
