I can confirm this behaviour; I run a v2.2.13pre14 kernel, with some
additional patches (a cpuinfo patch + my own cbmfs patch)

I had no problems with the new lilo at all, and I KNOW that I did run it
properly. However, I still downgraded when the new package was upped; I'm
not taking any unnecessary risks...
