root device is common for all present images, so it should be before first or
after all "image=" options.

So, after some searching through postinst script for kernel-image-2.6.2 I
found, it will create initrd image in boot and place symlink /initrd.img when
needed. It is needed because even ide and ext2/3 support are compiled as
modules.
So correct lilo.conf section for IDE drive should look like this (at least I
hope so -- with selfcompiled kernels I have no need for initrd ;):
lba32
boot=/dev/hda
root=/dev/hda5 # Replace with your root partition
default=Linux
image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
read-only
initrd=/initrd.img
image=/vmlinuz.old
label=LinuxOLD
read-only
optional
