If you upgrade the kernel you always have to reboot the computer (unless you use kexec), this has nothing to do with lilo or grub. The advantage of grub vs. lilo is that you don't need to rerun grub if you change something in menu.lst, while with lilo you always have to run 'lilo', even if the filename of the kernel image remains the same.
