As the name of the image did not change and the convertfs was added 
at the boot prompt rather than as an append to lilo it I did not run
"lilo".

But lilo was the issue.
I had tried with all the kernels I had installed with no success,
switched to grub using the same command at the boot prompt and the fs
converted nicely.

Will be interesting to see if any others using lilo have this problem
or if I am just "lucky".
