I thought you had install Sid (and its kernel) on its own partition. So the
Sid kernel surely isn't in the /boot directory of your Red Hat !

Try to mount you Sid (if its kernel is on /dev/hdc1) :

mkdir /mnt/sid ;
mount /dev/hdc1 /mnt/sid

Then edit your Red Hat lilo.conf :

image=/mnt/sid/boot/vmlinuz
label = DebianSid
root=/dev/hdc1
read-only

Then do :

lilo -v (to see the results of your command), reboot and i thik it will be
good for you...
