You have to make an initial ram drive by typing
mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.2.16-xx.img 2.2.16-xx
where the -xx is replaced by whatever revision number is on the vmlinuz
file for your new kernel. This is complicated slightly if you need to load
scsi or net modules at boot time. man mkinitrd to find out how to include
any specific modules that you need.
Once this is done just put
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.16-xx.img
into lilo.conf
