Remove some of the entries from /etc/lilo.conf
an example of an entry is
image = /vmlinuz
root = /dev/hda5
label = Linux-2.4.7ac2
read-only
once you're removed the "un-wanted" extra entries, run "/sbin/lilo", if you did things correctly, a list of your entries will be shown, and the program will exit cleanly, otherwise it will say something is wrong in your conf file.
Good luck, I hope this helps.
