Your lilo should look something like this:
... Common stuff up top
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-22
label = linux7.0
root = /dev/hda7
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.2-2 (assuming you are running the kernel
that came with the disk)
label = linux7.1
root = /dev/hdaX
The X will be whatever partition you installed RH7.1 on. If it was the
same partition as RH7.0 then that line will be /dev/hda7. To check, you
can boot up into RH7.0 and run fdisk to see
(fdisk /dev/hda, then press p to print the partitions. The linux native
types are 83. If you have two type 83 partitions then presumably one of
them will be hda7. You want the other one (probably hda8 if it was
installed after 7.0)
