I had this problem initially.  Here is what the changed portion of my
lilo.conf file  looked like after the adjustment:

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.12-20
        label=linux
        initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.12-20.img
        read-only
        root=/dev/hda5
        append="mem=96M"

then from a prompt, just run lilo.  Afterwards reboot.  I use RHL6.1, but
I would assume everything is the same with Debian (?)
