what happens when you boot?

Where did you tell lilo (in /etc/lilo.conf) to put itself?

(Basically, you want to tell lilo to go into /dev/hda, and point
it at /hdc2, some thing like this:

boot = /dev/hda
timeout = 20
prompt
  default = linux
  vga = normal
  read-only
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.12-20
  label = linux
  initrd = /boot/initrd-2.2.12-20.img
  root = /dev/hdc2


where /boot on /dev/hdc2 has your images, named as above
(or change the names, of course!)
