Maybe a silly question, but are you actually using lilo to boot?

I noticed that you have a /boot/grub directory which suggests you have
grub installed, which further suggests you're using it to boot.

Try running update-grub and rebooting to see if that works.
If it does work, there are some hooks you can put in to automatically
run update-grub whenever you install a new kernel (build with make-kpkg)
