Hiya!
Maybe you should just sumlink your latest kernel (2.0.35) to vmlinuz and in
lilo put new stanzas that point to vmlinuz-2.0.32 and vmlinuz-2.0.34.
then, label them linux32 and linux34, for instance, and 2.0.35 could just
be linux or even linux35. This one could either be made default with
(default=linux35) or just placed as the first stanza. so you could hit tab
when the lilo prompt comes up and then type in the label of the kernel you
want to run.
here is an example (modified from the example in the lilo HOWTO)
image = /boot/vmlinuz # your zImage file which is symlinked to vmlinuz-2.0.35
root = /dev/hda1 # Your linux partition (assuming it is the first one)
but use whatever number yours is.
label = linux35 # any name you want
read-only # mount root read-only
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.0.34 # your 2.0.34 kernel
root = /dev/hda1 # i think this is right
label = linux34 # any name you want
mage = /boot/vmlinuz-2.0.32 # your 2.0.32 kernel
root = /dev/hda1 # i think this is right
label = linux32 # any name you want

maybe because you symlinked all three kernel images to the same name.

my suggestion above should work.
hope that helps.
