Yes, lilo is easier to understand and control, I agree. Some people here use it. But it has a severe disadvantage: that after a kernel update or some changes, if you forget to run "lilo", the system will be unbootable. With grub you never face this particular problem, grub has code to actually read the filesystem and find things.

How is that different? Doesn't the normal grub process as suse has it setup require a rebuilt initfs?
Not that I'm aware of. Bootloader setup in openSUSE is done by update-bootloader and I do not see a single mkinitrd call in there.
If you screw that up or it changes and you don't regenerate the disk and copy it into place, doesn't it cause similar problems if you don't run lilo's sector-map step?
