My $.02 Just run grub!  Then you won't need to remember to run /sbin/lilo.  Grub
finds the kernel by filename (if you didn't fat-finger it) at boot time.  You
can regenerate the same kernel as many times as you like.  Only if you name a
new kernel do you need to update grub.conf (or menu.lst the older name).
