Can't boot from Core 2 CD

I rebooted my machine with Disk1 of Core2 in the CDROM. The system finds 
the cd and gives me the LILO splash screen. I tried hitting return for the 
graphical boot but it just hangs. I also tried "linus text" and that also 
hangs. When I say hang, I mean the screen just goes black and nothing 
happens. No blinken lights, Nothing.

I'm trying to upgrade from RH9 but I'm not even getting to the question 
about whether I want to install or upgrade.

My system has a scsi aic7xxx controller with 3 scsi disks, 1 ide drive. I 
have 2 athlon 1600s. The first SCSI disk contains the root partition and 
the IDE drive is just used for backup. The CDROM drive is also SCSI. And 
I'm ona Tyan K7 Thunder Motherboard and 1G of ram.

I did verify that the images I burned my cds with are the correct checksums.

I have no clue what do next. Can someone help?

If this helps, here's my mount table:

/dev/sda3 on / type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)
/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
/dev/hda1 on /f type ext3 (rw)
/dev/hda2 on /g type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sdc1 on /home type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sdb1 on /home2 type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sdc2 on /h type ext3 (rw)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/sda6 on /usr type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sda5 on /var type ext3 (rw)

I'm totally stuck here. :-(

Any advise would be nice.
