Anne, I installed a vanilla 2.4.20 kernel and added a preemptive patch, and it worked fine- all programs worked as before. I did lose supermount, as it is not enabled in the vanilla kernel. I also installed the mandrake 2.4.21.0 cooker kernel (now in 9.1) rpm with 9.0, and all 9.0 programs still worked fine- no re-install of any progs needed.
The rpm kernel install does the lilo mod automatically- that's what I would try,until your 9.1 disks arrive. Also install the kernel-source rpm.
