I believe this is caused by recompiling your kernel and
"cat arch/i386/boot/zImage > /vmlinuz" and subsequently not running
lilo.  I know of several people use this method to upgrade their
kernel.  The problem occurs (I believe) if the new kernel is _bigger_
than the old one.  Lilo no longer has a complete list of blocks that
contain the kernel image. 

Personally, i use "make zlilo"
