In that case you'll have to provide much more details.  Boot log probably
using netconsole.  Check config differences.

I suggested large-memory lilo option because your lilo.conf didn't have
it and 2.6.30 is known to outgrow default lilo assumptions.  So it wasn't
your case, it has to be in config change or in something failing during
boot.

Examine boot log (you can try adding vga=ask and choosing the largest
resolution offered, and also try loglevel=4 or loglevel=5 this will
reduce printk noise printed on the console) and config changes.

And please don't top-post.
