the -U is why... don't upgrade kernels install them with -i this will
put everything in parallel. One thing you will need to do is change
rpm -ivh is what I did first, this wiped out all my lilo.conf settings, and changed vmlinuz sym link.
I had to re-add my old kernel to the lilo.conf file. shouldnt the install avoid removing the current kernel?
In my case it seems lilo.conf was all setup with vmlinuz, so perhaps it would be better for "failsafe"
image=/boot/vmlinuz to image/boot/vmlinuz.2-x.x.x.xmdk where this
matches the kernel for that lilo entry. Then do the same for initrd
changing it specifically to the one you need rather than the symlink.
ok, i specified my initrd by full filename rather than sym link.
