Well, I do not know how lilo works exactly, but afaik it remembers where your kernel-image resides physically. When you mount your /dev/hda1 to /boot, copy bzImage to it and call /sbin/lilo, lilo looks in lilo.conf, finds the line "image = /boot/bzImage" and remembers the position of it on your harddisk. That's why you have to call /sbin/lilo every time you installed a new kernel, even if the new one has the same name. My setup looks like follows: /dev/hda1 /boot /dev/hda6 / lilo.conf is: image = /boot/vmlinuz root = /dev/hda6 vga = 791 label = Gentoo It works perfectly.
