Thanks Calvin,

	Debian uses a make-kpkg program for building kernels.  Lilo.conf 
did not need to be changed to boot the new kernel.  However I decided to 
try running lilo and it worked.  Going to check with the debian-testing 
folks to see if we have found a bug in make-kpkg.

Later,

Jim Seymour
