The old setup used to write the new kernel in the root directory. The new
Makefile probably has the directory set to /boot, but your old lilo may
still be pointing to / (the root dir), or it could be the other way around.

Edit /etc/lilo.conf and see what the image section calls for.

--# Linux bootable partition config begins
--image = /boot/vmlinuz
--root = /dev/sda2
--label = linux
--# Linux bootable partition config ends
--#

If it points to /vmlinuz then change it to /boot/vmlinuz and re-run lilo as
root then reboot.

Hope this is helpful.
