I confess the same was true of vmlinuz-2.6.25-2-amd64 so I saveed
vmlinuz-2.6.24-1-amd64 which lilo can boot with no problems. I had
hoped the problem would go away with the next kernel image upgrade but
it hasn't.
Perhaps switching to grub would resolve this problem? If need be I
will try to switch but as I have been happy with lilo until now it
would be nice to be sure this will resolve the problem.
I switched to grub because the much faster reading of initrd images on
USB disks. Since then I modified legacy grub so that you don't have to
specify any device address for root, but a file to look for.
Running vanilla 2.6.26-1-686 just fine.

Make sure you've specified the initrd correctly. I never gotten an
initrd (initial root disk) to work with LILO; however, you may succeed
since LILO claims to support this. Perhaps you need to post your
lilo.conf so others can help you.
