I like to cp /vmlinuz to /vmlinuz.orig.
And then I put these entries on my lilo.conf:
#
# default entry
#
image = /vmlinuz
label = linux
root = /dev/sda3
read-only
image = /vmlinuz.old
label = linux.old
root = /dev/sda3
read-only
image = /vmlinuz.orig
label = linux.orig
root = /dev/sda3
read-only
Then I do a make zlilo, which makes a new kernel and copies /vmlinuz to
/vmlinuz.old and puts the new kernel at /vmlinuz. I always have /vmlinuz.orig
to fall back on.
