Lilo has its core bootloader part written in x86 assembler and also
depends on BIOS interface to work. So it's not compatible with uboot
(nor EFI on PCs!).


You can select different kernels from uboot if you want. It will
not provide you with a nice graphical kernel selector but you can
load the kernel you want from uboot command line (similar to what
you would do in grub command line).
With proper uboot scripting you can e.g. select the kernel based on
status of GPIO lines (or pressed buttons).
