The "/usr/src/linux.2.6.3#" is a directory?  I wasn't expecting the "#" on
the end.  It is a perfectly valid directory name, so it is possible.

Can you double check by doing the following and e-mailing us the output?
1: "ls -al /usr/src | grep linux.2.6.3"
2: "ls -al /usr/src/linux.2.6.3#"

I don't have a system with LILO anymore -- went the way of the Grub... :)

When you run /sbin/lilo, and it has no errors, I think it just spits back
the label of each kernel it found in the config file.  If you run
"/sbin/lilo -v -t", what output does it spit back?
