Try append="acpi_sleep=s3_bios" for your boot command line.

In lilo.conf add the compact option. e.g.

# Enable map compaction:
# Tries to merge read requests for adjacent sectors into a single
# read request. This drastically reduces load time and keeps the
# map smaller.  Using `compact' is especially recommended when
# booting from a floppy disk.  It is disabled here by default
# because it doesn't always work.

compact
