Get one of the kernel-image packages here:
http://security.debian.org/pool/updates/main/k/kernel-image-2.4.18-1-i386/

if in doubt take:
http://security.debian.org/pool/updates/main/k/kernel-image-2.4.18-1-i386/kernel-image-2.4.18-1-386_2.4.18-8_i386.deb

and install it with:
dpkg -i kernel-image-2.4.18-1-386_2.4.18-8_i386.deb

Normally the postinstall script should configure LILO automagically but
chacking the lilo config before rebooting can't hurt :)

HTH,
 Mika
