Here is my lilo.conf. I've used the same "new" label for all kernels
(just changed initrd and vmlinuz). I've also tried to remove the initrd
line without luck. The kernel is right according to rdev when it comes
to root partition. The linux-label below works, by the way. As you can
see, it's got the same options (except the append-line, which I wait to
add until it works).

boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.34-0.6
label=linux
root=/dev/hdb5
append="mem=128M"
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.0.34-0.6.img
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.35-2
label=new
root=/dev/hdb5
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.0.35-2.img
read-only
other=/dev/hda1
label=win
table=/dev/hda
