Multiple people have now reported this error message with 2.6.23.Thanks for the info.
Updating GRUB fixes it:

A better fix IMHO would be if one could get lilo to work. :)

I don't know of any lilo-specific problems and didn't mean to imply
that LILO is at fault.
The problems that I have seen when I have tried to switch from
grub to LILO are more like config issues:
either "can't find root device" or
"cannot open /dev/console" or other initrd/initramfs issues.
