Do you mean you are missing a new stanza in lilo.conf for booting the upgraded kernel? I wonder what is in /boot/grub/grub.conf?

Red Hat just released the new Kernel Upgrade for Psyche, so to keep
my box with the good 'ole green check, I just had to apply them!
Instead of using the default Grub boot loader, I use the lilo boot
loader.
During the upgrade of my packages, I received an error about Grub (which I'm not using), and then when I went to investigate after the installation completed, I discovered that the lilo Configuration file had lost my Linux entry!
So, if I would have rebooted, I wouldn't have been able to select Linux to boot -- and I would have been stuck using some other O/S! (Of course, I have emergency boot floppies and plenty of other methods of recovering, but still....)
If you're in the same situation, be sure to fix your lilo configuration and re-run lilo once you have completed the upgrade of the Kernel pkg!
