Just to concur with Carlos, after any kernel upgrade, you'll need to run "#/sbin/lilo" to update Lilo's boot selection. There is plenty of documentation for lilo and it is easy to update and modify. It may lack a few of the functions that Grub supports, but it works well enough. You won't be disappointed. Besides, after you make any changes you need or want, you won't need to tend to it again.
And I find it easier to diagnose.
For example, grub doesn't recognise my new 160GB hard disk. I had two, one a 60 GB model and another 40 GB for linux, that I wanted to retire, I need more space. But grub doesn't even see it:
grub> root (hd Possible disks are: hd0 hd1
and the new disk is number 3, hdd. I can not install grub there, nor can I use a boot partition there. I haven't tried lilo yet, but I might. I wonder if I could test lilo first without installing it.
I thought the third disk would be hdc, doesn't matter how it is attached to the controller. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
