you mention keeping an extra copy of System.map but I don't
see it in the lilo.conf that you included.
How do you specify that the system.map is different with
each kernel?
Can the image= point to a link?

Is is possible (and straightforward) to keep two versions of the kernel around selecting which to actually boot in LILO?
Yes on both accounts ;-) Just rename one of the kernels (and System.map accordingly) and add an entry in /etc/lilo.conf. Here's what my lilo.conf at home looks like:
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.0-test1-ac7 root = /dev/hda6 append ="video=matrox:1280x1024@75,mtrr,sgram" label = linux # image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.3.99-pre9 root = /dev/hda6 append ="video=matrox:1280x1024@75,mtrr,sgram" label = lxpre9 # image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.3.99-pre8 root = /dev/hda6 append ="video=matrox:1280x1024@75,mtrr,sgram" label = lxpre8 # image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.3.99-pre6 root = /dev/hda6 append ="video=matrox:1280x1024@75,mtrr,sgram" label = lxpre6 # image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.3.99-pre5 root = /dev/hda6 append ="video=matrox:1280x1024@75,mtrr,sgram" label = lxpre5 # image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.3.99-pre3 root = /dev/hda6 append ="mem=192M video=matrox:1280x1024@75,mtrr,sgram" label = lxpre3 # image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14 append ="mem=192m" root = /dev/hda6 label = lx14 #
