The problem turned out to be the lack of module-init-tools on my

with modutils already installed. I had to upgrade modutils to most
current version first, then install module-init-tools. All is fine
now, except that during the process of upgrading all my packages
(which probably wasn't necessary) I have lost my /boot/boot.b ->
/boot/boot-menu.b . The system boots into vmlinuz-2.6.8 just fine,
and my modules load, but I don't have a menu option for booting into
the previous kernel. I need to obtain another boot-menu.b somehow.
you may need to set a boot delay in /etc/lilo.conf. If you do that, you
will be able to select a kernel to boot.
Take a look at http://www.linuxheadquarters.com/howto/basic/lilo.shtml
or man lilo.conf for more details.
