Upgrade to kernel >= 2.2.16, because in kernels < 2.2.15 it-s a major bug
...

Your problem is the name of the kernel [vmlinuz-2.2.14-5.0]. This is too
long ... Try rename and i'm shur it's working, and lilo is writing your
boot ...

Rename all *-2.2.14-5.0 to *2.2.14.

P.S. Do not forget to upgrade to 2.2.16 or 2.2.17-pre* ... :)
