eh? kernel-package doesn't edit *my* lilo.conf... It does call
lilo to install the new kernel image, but thats it afaics

If you're upgrading, why not go to 2.2.19prex (latest is 17), I've
had real good luck with the 19pre series (and 2.4.2ac at work - waiting
till the scsi bug is surely gone before I install it at home). There
are performance *and* security reasons to go the whole nine yards
