Narrative:

Preparing for departure lax-ord, received clearance for loop 8 departure. Daggett transition. We planned departure on runway 25R. Upon receiving pushback clearance we were told to expect runway 24. The first officer reprogrammed the FMC for a 24L departure. When calling for taxi clearance we were given runway 25R. During taxi out the first officer reentered runway 25R in the FMC. After departure on 25R we were cleared left turn to lax on course. The captain was flying using flight director and LNAV guidance. After passing the VOR and making a right turn on course I (captain) noticed sli coming into view on my HSI. It is not part of the departure. I switched my HSI to VOR mode and started a left turn back to the lax 041 degree radial. About that time lax departure control gave me a vector to intercept the radial. While en route to ord we reentered our clearance on route 2 pages in the same sequence as departure and found that when we changed runways the FMC dropped the keggs and coopp intxns and added sli on the legs page. The departure and route pages still indicated loop 8 - daggett transition.
