So what was the difference between the two configuration files ?

Unless you use LINEAR, /sbin/lilo will detect this.
The problem you're describing sounds suspiciously like a kernel change (e.g. you built a new kernel) without running /sbin/lilo afterwards. Such mistakes are difficult to spot, because the system normally doesn't fail instantly afterwards, because it'll take a while until the blocks previously used for the old kernel and LILO's map file are re-used and overwritten.
