Yeah, I used the debian kernel-package to change my lilo.conf, but I checked it manually, and it seems pointed correctly.
Here's my lilo.conf, minus comments:
boot=/dev/hda5
root=/dev/hda5

compact

install=/boot/boot.b

delay=20

map=/boot/map

vga=ask

image=/vmlinuz
	label=linux
	read-only
 other=/dev/hda1
   label=h

#end of file.
Now, hda1 is my old windows partition (with the windows directory deleted, I have my poetry and illegally copied music there).
/vmlinuz is a symlink to /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17 .

As I said in the original message (for new viewers<g>), even though I've run /sbin/lilo, I'm still presented with the old labels (and old kernel) at boot. I'm thinking it might have something to with the deb mbr-program.
