Hi,

Did you install all the previously released errata?

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.\

If you are using LILO, "grubby" will fail to automatically
rewrite your /etc/lilo.conf. Grubby will either create
reasonable looking entries where the labels are too long for
LILO or it may simply delete the contents of your lilo.conf.

The recommended solution is to make a backup copy of your
/etc/lilo.conf before doing the upgrade and put in the
appropriate entries manually.
