kernel-package and Lilo

[Kevin M Bealer <kmb203@psu.edu>]

I love the kernel-package thing; but the other day I used it to install a
kernel and the vmlinuz.old kernel was not in boot (I deleted it
accidentally).

The system would not boot -- may I humbly suggest that the install process
for the generated package checks if "lilo" returns an error and throws a
warning if it does?

(I'm thinking of the equiv. of "lilo (options) || echo Warning! blah blah")

and/or could LILO be run in "verbose" mode?

I suggest this because it would have saved me a lot of time.. 

In other words: (please idiot proof this for my benefit :) )

Thanks,
