Actually my /etc/lilo.conf looks like this:

root=/dev/hda2
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
message=/boot/message
default=2.4.20

image=/boot/vmlinuz-tables-ext3 
    label=2.4.14-tables
    read-only
#    root=/dev/hda2
    append="hdc=ide-scsi"
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20
    label=2.4.20
    read-only
    append="hdc=ide-scsi"
image=/boot/vmlinux-2.4.18
    label=2.4.18
    read-only
    root=/dev/hda2
      append="hdc=ide-scsi"



You would want image=/ to point to your new kernel. I have an ide cdrom
burner that requires scsi emulation so I have the append line. The
simplest thing to do is copy and paste an image section to the end of your
file with the new image make a unique label, save it, run lilo, and you
should get output like above. It will also tell you if you failed to do it
right.
