I mean I booted off the CD and used the individual disks as the root 
partitions. However I realised after I sent that email that I am not 
getting kernel panics when I try that but I am getting into maintenance 
mode with /dev/md0 mounted read only. I remounted it read/write and I 
was able to edit some files and re-run lilo and I am still getting the 
same problems.

So now that I have access to the file system, does anyone have an idea 
of how to fix the lilo boot problem or what the problem could be? and 
yes I know that installing grub could help but I would rather learn 
about the benefits of grub at a later date ; )
