is it possible to rerun lilo with a certain level of verbosity and paste the
output here ?

image=/vmlinuz is probably just a symlink:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -l /vmlinuz
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Jul 19 2002 /vmlinuz ->
boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-sun4u
Adding a new kernel entry goes as follows:
you open your lilo.conf you enter
image=path_to_your_new_kernel
label=how_you_want_to_see_it_in_the_boot_menu
read-only
Lines concerning vga etc are optional, if you put no default, then lilo just
picks the kernel which comes first in lilo.conf, if you
default=exisiting_label lilo picks the kernel with that label. For more info
see man lilo.conf which has excellent description of available options etc
