Mmh.. maybe check your /etc/lilo.conf file, and in particular the "append=..." line. Maybe you've got something like "init=nomce" in there? If that is the case, fix it, rerun lilo and you should be OK. A reasonable line would be
Code:
append="hda=scsi hdb=scsi hdc=scsi hdd=scsi apm=power-off nomce"
