So something is wrong. My /boot/ has a wastland of files from various
kernels I tried to get working. Four, count them 4, kernels.

My /boot is on /dev/hda5  ext3
hda1 (ext2 with 100 MB free) hda2 <hda 5 6 7 8 9> hda3(swp)  hda4(tmp)

My lilo.conf looks something like this without any typo's:
lba32
boot=/dev/hda5

boot should be where you want the boot record installed, not where the kernel is. For the mbr, you want boot=/dev/hda

Also, make sure to rerun lilo...
