 Look in "/etc/lilo.conf", and see that it's got something like:

image=/vmlinuz
  label=Linux
  ...

 ... and that there's a symlink in "/" something like:

 /vmlinuz -> /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.XX

 OR... the image line can point to /boot/vmlinuz, and the analagous
 symlink can be in /boot.

 Then run `lilo' once, and reboot.
