Fairly easy, cd to the /boot directory

do mkinitrd initrd-2.4.9-21.img 2.4.9-21 (Subsistute the numbers for you kernel 
version including the redhat revision numbers.

In lilo.conf make sure there is line that reads initrd=initrd-2.4.9-21.img

So in lilo.conf you should have something like...

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.9-21
       label=linux
       initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.9-21.img
       read-only
       root=/dev/sda1
