Now, are you loading the kernel from your internal hard drive, or have you chained to the copy on the USB drive? If you have chained to the USB drive, have you edited /etc/lilo.conf on the USB drive to change the root drive passed to the kernel from /dev/hda to /dev/sda? You also have to run lilo after the change. That complicates things a bit, because you have to either be able to boot the OS, or mount it properly, and use chroot to use the FC4 environment. If you use the chroot method, you also have to change lilo.conf so that it is installing on the USB drive. I don't remember the exact syntax, but it is covered in the LILO man page. (It has been too many years sense I used LILO.) If you can not find it, let me know and I will dig it up. I believe we have eliminated the drivers as a problem, so the next thing to test is if you are passing the kernel the wrong drive. One difference between LILO and Grub is that you have to run the lilo command after making changes to the config file, while Grub will normally read the changes at boot.
