I don't know, to be honest. Seems to me the last time I upgraded the
kernel on a machine using lilo, I had to update lilo.conf myself. Either
way, editing lilo.conf is painless, I wouldn't let that stop my
upgrading. After the rpms are updated, just check and be sure the new
kernel has been added to lilo.conf.
lilo conf just needs a stanza for each kernel you want configured, like
so:
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-5
label=linux
read-only
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-5.img
root=/dev/hda11
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-4
label=linux-old
read-only
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-4.img
root=/dev/hda11
The version numbers and root partition will be different in your case, but
you can copy the existing stanza, and change the kernel version.
Once you have edited the file, don't forget to run lilo -v and check for
error messages.
