If you have problems with Lilo and large Kernels, you can always use
"make bzlilo" instead of "make zlilo". By default, the kernel
installation
will move your old kernel and System.map to *.old. All you need to do to
be
able to boot into the previous kernel would be to add a boot entry in
/etc/lilo.conf. Or you could just cp your stable kernel and the
accompanying
map to *.stable, and then add an entry for that.
