Warning regarding new kernel RPMs



The instructions in RHSA-2000:037-01 (2.2.16 kernel update) tell you:

    4. Solution:

    For each RPM for your particular architecture, run:

    rpm -Fvh [filename]

    where filename is the name of the RPM.

These instructions are incomplete and may result in a system that
is unbootable.

After updating the RPM files, you should also:

	(1) run mkinitrd to create a new initial ramdisk image
		[this step may not be necessary on some systems]

	(2) update your lilo.conf file

	(3) run /sbin/lilo

[mod: Aren't these steps in the post-install script of the kernel RPM? 
(On the other hand, I wouldn't want a script touching MY lilo.conf...)
