Ahah. It didn't play with /sbin/lilo. Did you? You need to run lilo
after editing lilo.conf, and before rebooting.
If your lilo.conf has something like this:
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.31
label=linux
root=/dev/hda1
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.0.31.img
read-only
add another similar stanza (but make it the first stanza, or add
"default=your.label.here" to the top of lilo.conf):
image=/boot/zImage
label=mynewkernel
root=/dev/hda1
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.0.31.img
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.31
label=linux
root=/dev/hda1
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.0.31.img
read-only
Like so. This way, you can still boot to the old kernel if you need
to, but the new one will be the default. After you're sure everything
works, you can delete the reference to the old kernel.
Now run lilo:
# /sbin/lilo
*Adding mynewkernel
*Adding linux
