watching this thread with interest.

I have several Dell Optiplex 320's that will not boot with grub but will
boot with lilo and so I have lilo installed on them.

Unfortunately though, kernel updates do produce the error above (unable
to open /boot/boot.b) generated by grubby. Is there any way around
getting grubby to re-run lilo to execute an update when new kernels are
installed?
