It's not just a matter of making sure the /dev/hda symlink is in place
before running lilo; there seems to be some more fundamental problem with
lilo recognizing the new kernel.
That said, Red Hat is still shipping a lilo package with RHEL4, so there
may be some nonobvious but easy way to get this working.
