Re: Eh?
I don't need knowledge of his config. I know lilo. Changing the kernel[0] called for in /etc/lilo.conf and then running (surprise!) lilo at the command line and rebooting is hardly difficult.
It would appear some folks disagree.
[0] The kernel was the only thing upgraded in the OP's scenario, so the only thing needing to be changed would be the image called out by the config file (and possibly a kernel parameter or two). And probably just the one kernel, even in a multi-boot system. Unless you're foolhardy enough to change all the kernels in such a system at once, sans testing.
