If that's true, that's a *serious* bug.  LILO (or Grub, come to that)
should never delete kernels.  I know Grub doesn't but, as I said before,
I've not used LILO for some years.  Even so, I'd be surprised if it could
actually _delete_ kernels like that.  Keeping an old, known to work
kernel is the sensible thing to do.

Even if it's not LILO, but apt, aptitude or synaptic that is deleting
the previous kernel, without your _specifically_ telling it to do so
again, a bug.

I will admit that, under certain circumstances, old kernels can be
marked as suitable for auto-removal, but by that time, there's still at
least two kernels left to work with.
