I don't use LILO on any system, so I can't help here. But I
tested the
kernel update for multiple kernel flavors. I downgraded a
system to
2.4.21-47.EL and installed both the UP as well as the smp
kernel.
After that I tried several variations of yum update, i.e.
"yum update",
"yum update kernel", "yum update
kernel-smp", all variations with each
of the kernel flavors set to default in /etc/grub.conf, and
with one or
both of the new versions of the kernel flavor uninstalled.
The behavior was correct for all cases. The new kernel was
always set to
default when the flavor had been default before, and it was
never set to
default when the flavor had not been default before.
When the default was set to the new version, a message was
displayed:
Setting default GRUB kernel to
/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-47.0.1.EL
or for the smp kernel:
Setting default GRUB kernel to
/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-47.0.1.ELsmp
Btw., this is a system previously upgraded from RedHat 9.0
to CentOS 3,
so it was not just a clean install. Seems to work fine
here!

Thank you very much for working on this! The new yum is so
much better.
I am looking forward to having this in the plus repo for
CentOS 3.
