Paul,
LILO gives you that error because it can't identify the 'vmlinuz' of
your Kubuntu.
So you can overcome this by making a folder in Mandriva's /boot
(say /boot/kubuntu..) and copy the 'vmlinuz' of Kubuntu to that folder.
Then do the same thing for it's "initrd"
Make the changes of your lilo.conf as following...
# Kubuntu
image=/boot/kubuntu/vmlinuz
label="kubuntu"
root=/dev/hda3
initrd=/boot/kubuntu/initrd.img
append="mem=1024M"
--------
Have fun...!!!
