David,
Try this move /etc/lilo.conf /etc/lilo.conf.bkp
then create a new lilo.conf this way
boot=/dev/hdb
map=/boot/map
default=linux
vga=788
keytable=/boot/us.klt
prompt
nowarn
timeout=100
message=/boot/message
menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.19-16mdk
label=linux
root=/dev/hdb6
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.19-16mdk.img
append="devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi"
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.19-16mdk
label=failsafe
root=/dev/hdb6
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.19-16mdk.img
append="devfs=nomount hdc=ide-scsi failsafe"
read-only
other=/dev/fd0
label=floppy
unsafe
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.19-35mdk
label=2419-35
root=/dev/hdb6
read-only
append="devfs=nmount hdc=ide-scsi"
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.19-35mdk.img
Then run lilo and try your reboot into one of the regular kernels.
