I'm sure you _can_ but I don't know how, I'm afraid.  When I installed kubuntu 
(with 2.6.10) I also put my partitions under the Logical Volume manager, so 
kubuntu installed lilo (doesn't seem possible to make Grub recognize these 
partitions - probably a mistake on my part!), so I also don't have a grub 
config.  My lilo.conf is attached, in case it helps:
