Hi John: Which Linux distribution are you using? If that distro's kernel has support for your gigabit ethernet card, then you don't need to build another image - have you tried that? (But chances are SIS' boot kernel does not support your network card, but you should be able to d/l a newer kernel which supports that...)
Also, OSCAR selects the bootloader from the rpmlist which you have chosen during the image building step. You can change from lilo -> grub by making changes to the rpmlist, or do a chroot into the image and uninstall lilo, then install grub.
