The kernels you have install are version 2.4.22, but the modules
it is looking for is 2.4.20. That smells of the bootloader not
matching the current lilo.conf.

Type:

	cat /proc/version

I bet you are running a 2.4.20 kernel even though you only have
2.4.22 kernels installed. Grub automagically deals with new kernels,
with lilo you MUST run "lilo" after making changes to the config
file or kernels.

I see that your lilo.conf has a uni-processor set to the default,
you might want to change it to "default=2.4.22-1.2135.1".

Be sure to run "lilo" as root & reboot.


At the lilo: prompt, if you hit the tab key you will get a list
of available kernels. You can type in a specific one if you wish,
such as:

	lilo: 2.4.22-1.2135.1
