I found this reference to 'hlt', no idea if it applies in your case and
use at your own risk.. :)

A simple workaround is to add a "no-hlt" option to the LILO boot command
line, and later add it to the /etc/lilo.conf
file like in the following entry :
# Linux standard bootable partition config begins
image = /vmlinuz
root = /dev/hda2
label = Linux
append = "no-hlt"
# Linux standard bootable partition config ends
