Latest: Loadlin-1.6.
( 1.5 can only boot zImages and has no initrd support )

Look at linux/Documentation/Changes:

Booting Changes
===============
[ ... ]
use the new features you'll need to upgrade your bootloaders. Lilo can
be found at ftp://lrcftp.epfl.ch/pub/linux/local/lilo/lilo.19.tar.gz.
LOADLIN is at
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/Linux-boot/lodlin16.tgz. If
you're using more unusual loaders like SysLinux or etherboot, the
latest versions are 1.3 and 2.0, respectively.
