Running lilo after kernel update ?
SuSE 9.0 Professional and YAST2 Just downloaded and installed k_deflt and a "warning" or "informational" message says to: please execute /sbin/lilo after installing the update kernel and prior to rebooting lilo doesn't exist (as I recall the new default is grub?) So what do I do with "grub" to accomplish whatever the warning was for ?? Patches downloaded -- Installed -- Linker automatically runs - Quit back to a command prompt - What next ? Per Olaf's announcement "The grub bootloader does not require any further actions to be performed after the new kernel images have been moved in place by the rpm Update command." I did NOT issue the "rpm update" (I'm guessing Yast2 did that). Do I have to issue the command or am I at the reboot stage ? The system is remote, so I'b being extra cautious/anal about it....

Okay, that should probably have read "... if you use the LILO boot loader".
Per Olaf's announcement "The grub bootloader does not require any further actions to be performed after the new kernel images have been moved in place by the rpm Update command."
Right. grub users don't need to worry about telling the boot loader where to find the kernel image, because grub loads it by going through the file system layer (lilo goes to the block layer directly).
I did NOT issue the "rpm update" (I'm guessing Yast2 did that). Do I have to issue the command or am I at the reboot stage ?
YOU should have installed the kernel for you. You can check with "rpm -q k_deflt" which version is currently installed.
