whatever it is, try not to reboot until you sort this out.
(although since the two kernels are very similar,
your system MAY survive a reboot)
it appears that you have one or more entries in /etc/lilo.conf where the
linux kernel (vmlinuz) isn't match properly to the initial ramdisk
(initrd.img)
IMHO, you can
1. try to troubleshoot the issue yourself,
in which case it may help to read
http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/docs/magic.php
specifically the section on Black Magic: Kernel Updates
2. post your lilo.conf and contents of
/boot (use ls -l instead of just ls) here.
3. try to clobber over everything by reinstalling your kernels,
clearing out your lilo.conf (remember to back up)
using the --force if necessary
rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.21.0.13mdk
followed by
rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.21.0.18mdk
it *SHOULD* work, assuming your system hasn't been drastically modified
but at the very least, have a working boot disk ready

look like there was a problem, the default vmlinuz version is not the same
of the initrd
which mean you have a mdk kernel and not a mdk initrd you may go in
trouble
not adding entry, 2421-18 already exists
