You may have overwritten an existing image, or you forgot to label it. What did you copy to /boot, what is the entry in lilo.conf for it? You should have copied /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage to something like /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.17 and you should have an entry in lilo.conf like: image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.17 label = l-17 root = /dev/hda3 initrd = /boot/initrd-2.4.17 restricted
