Look at /boot/lilo, where does it points ? Do you have modified it by hand ? (possible values are currently lilo-text, lilo-graphic, lilo-menu, lilo-bmp). It should point to a directory containing the real boot.b for the right stage2 lilo, after that /boot/boot.b should point to lilo/boot.b (always the case, previously the choice was made changing /boot/boot.b (to /boot/boot-menu.b for example) but now to use different message file suitable for the used stage2 lilo, only /boot/lilo is a symlink suggested to change).
