I believe you forgot to add the line in lilo.conf that tells it what kernel
image you will use as the default image. This is what mine looks like:

boot=/dev/hde
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
linear
default=linux  <----------***Add this line to your lilo.conf....***

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-new
        label=linux   <------**...to match the kernel label you want as default** 
        read-only
        root=/dev/hde9
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.0-test7
        label=test
        read-only       
        root=/dev/hde9
 
Of course you will need to change the name to one of *your* kernel labels
specified in one of your stanzas. Don't forget to re-run lilo.
