If you installed with kernel-package you could probably get by with just
running "lilo" again.

cd to / 
do a ls -l vmlinuz
that link should be pointed to your new kernel.  You should also have a
link pointing to your old kernel.  Probably "vmlinuz.old"

At any rate you want to point the entry "image=" in /etc/lilo.conf to
your kernels.  Here is an example -
image=/vmlinuz
        label=deb2.4
        read-only
        root=/dev/hda12
 
image=/vmlinuz.old
        label=deb2.2.18
        read-only
        root=/dev/hda12                                                         

After you set that up run -
# /sbin/lilo
if you get a "geometry" error -
# /sbin/lilo -L

Then reboot.
