You need the following files for using with lilo:

/boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-35-generic
/boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-35-generic
/boot/System.map-3.13.0-35-generic

The initrd.img should be created by mkinitramfs (inside initramfs-tools)
and must exist.

If you see all these files (with size >> 0) then try per hand to edit
the /etc/lilo.conf at the end of the file and create/update these lines:

image = /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-35-generic
	label = "Linux"
	read-only
	optional
	initrd = /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-35-generic

Then try to start "lilo" again.

If lilo still fail, then the next question: which type is your partition
of root directory (/). If it is a RAID than it could be difficulty running
lilo and you need some more handwork.

And then please check the lines with "root=" (with UUID) and also "boot="
(with HDD ID) in /etc/lilo.conf and check whether these lines are o.k.

Have a nice day.

  And now I can't install any package (including the new image and kernel). I tried to run:
  sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-3.13.0-35-generic
  sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-generic-lts-trusty
  sudo apt-get remove linux-image-3.13.0-35-generic
  sudo dpkg --purge linux-image-3.13.0-35-generic
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get -f install

  and I got the same error over and over again. The message error is in
  the attachment. My next move is remove this packages from my update
  settings, but I don't know it is a good ideia.
