I am going to assume that at least one of those kernels is valid.
Since you removed the oldest one, I am not sure about your situation.

You can determine the version information of the files as follows:

strings /vmlinuz | grep 2.4

and similarly

strings /vmlinuz.old | grep 2.4

(Let me know if there is an easier way.)

Using that information, you should be able to determine what course
you should take concerning LILO.
