make zlilo will probably put your kernel under /vmlinuz.  You are
looking at the kernels under /boot.  Did you check the ones under /?

This is OK.  When lilo is what loads your kernel, you don't have to
worry about rdev.  The root= line in your lilo.conf tells it what the
root partition for that particular kernel is, and lilo will tell the
kernel what to use, regardless of the rdev settings.
