I just tried it with lilo (set it up using liloconfig) only o please
you, but the outcome was exactly the same. Although I AM thankful to
everyone who found some time to answer, i'd welcome if you focused less
on what i might've done wrong (with grub or anything else), but advise
me how to get the initial ramdisk to work.

I'm really upset with this all, coz I dunno what other distro to try.
SUSE is too bloated, Debian is out-of-date, Ubuntu doesn't provide a
"current" version (the stable release only gets critical security
updates), and I'm afraid to try Gentoo. I suppose i might give Fedora
one last chance.
