I checked info on lilo and lilo.conf, and don't see how to 'point' lilo to
the new screen, wherever that is. When I upgraded, I referenced both hail
and potatoe in sources.list. Did that screw things up? If you could point
me to the information I need. I would appreciate it.Thanks,
Jim

"...and don't see how to 'point' lilo to

You can "point" lilo to the new screen by editing your /etc/lilo.conf file (with your favorite text editor). In order to use the new graphic_screen, edit the "message" to reflect the line highlighted in bold.
root=/dev/hda1
boot=/dev/hda
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
vga=normal
timeout=300
message=/boot/graphic_screen
Save your changes, and run /sbin/lilo (in a terminal) to reinstall lilo and apply the changes.
Using both potato and hail sources should not have messed anything up during the upgrade.
