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
