I run several different distros on one system (my test system). /boot
often has two or three different kernels (just in case), but since the
first thing I do is rebuild a kernel after install it's optimized for my
system. I use the same kernel to boot 4 different linux distros (I just
copy /lib/modules/2.4.x to the other distro). So lilo points to the
same kernel for 4 different distros. The only difference is the root=
line. Ext2 is safe, but since my kernel is built with reiserfs built
in, it works OK for me.
