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
