It sounds like either you've got the wrong device as your root dev, or you don't have support compiled in to your kernel. Did you remember to include ext2fs support? For the root dev, 03:02 corresponds to /dev/hda2. If this isn't your root, you can get around this with root=/dev/hdxx on the lilo command line.
