Symptom

After updating the kernel via 'rpm' or via Yast Online Update(YOU), the server does not start. The monitor turns black after Lilo's selection dialog is displayed.

Cause

The boot manager Lilo has not been reinstalled, which is necessary after every kernel update.
Both the RPM installation and YaST/YOU issue instructions accordingly. However, these have not been observed in this case.
