Edit /etc/lilo.conf. Locate the line containing = /vmlinuz. Insert a
line after that with initrd = /initrd.img.

It will set the /vmlinuz symlink to point to the recently installed
image. /vmlinuz is normally used in lilo.conf as the default kernel. And
/vmlinuz.old as the previous kernel.

If you are not sure, use the kernel-image-2.4.17-bf2.4 package. It is
compiled without initrd and should have the same boot behaviour as 2.2.x
kernels.
