If apt-get upgrade installed a later revision of a 2.2 kernel on your
computer, it would run lilo as part of the upgrade and reset the
symlink /vmlinuz to point to just installed kernel. If your 2.4 kernel
had priviously been /vmlinuz, it would now be linked to /vmlinuz.old.
/etc/lilo probably has lines in it like:
image=/vmlinuz
label=linux
and
image=/vmlinuz.old
label=linuxOLD
You could put a default global option in /etc/lilo.conf and rerun lilo to
prevent this from happening again.
