As i see it, the last two are the same kernel.
They both have image=/vmlinuz
I have had 4 different installations, redhat, slackware, suse and debian on
2 different drives, /dev/hda and /dev/hdb, to boot then i had all kernels in
/boot which was /dev/hda1 i had 14 different kernels defined in lilo.conf
all located in /boot on /dev/hda1.
