Yes, you've got exactly the idea -- recreate the vmlinuz symbolic link.
As you've probably deduced, /vmlinuz is just a symbolic link pointing to
the "real" kernel file which is located in /boot.
As root, do the following:
"cd /" (make sure we're in the root directory.
"rm vmlinuz" (delete the old symbolic link because it's probably broken;
we're going to recreate the symbolic link below anyway)
"ln -s boot/2.2.15-idepci vmlinuz" (recreate the symbolic link; this of
course will differ depending on what your kernel in /boot is named)
"liloconfig" (run liloconfig so that lilo knows about the new kernel and can
boot it)
