Please note that if you replace a kernel version with itself (e.g. new
options) then you have to do the following steps:
4b) mv -i /lib/modules/2.x.y /lib/modules/2.x.y.old
5) dpkg -i
5b) rm vmlinuz.old
ln -s /boot/vmlinux.old.version vmlinuz.old
To have an old kernel handy. I am going to file a bug report on
this soon.

Forget about LILO in this example. Aboot works just dandy with the
kernel-package (probably this should be replaced by BOOTLOADER with a
bug report also).
