Our servers use LILO. I've never taken the time to learn about GRUB,
so I can't abide to have it in use on a server that I end up working
on. If the server is, in fact, using GRUB, I would be surprised.
I am intrigued by this LILI option you mention. That's new to me, and
it sounds pretty useful.

P.S. I will eventually be making another trip to San Diego, and I
could always update the kernel while I'm there.

Sure, but we don't have console without somebody driving to San Diego...
I recall that LILO had an option to set one image as the default for the
next boot, and then revert to the lilo.conf-specified one for subsequent
boots. GRUB probably has similar functionality, but it scares me and I've
never really tried to figure it out.
Still, are we really going to want to jump to
2.6 right away
after it comes out? 2.4 had quite a bit of teething problems until
fairly late in the game.
I don't see any real need to go 2.6, but a more recent 2.4 ought to be a
help (fixed VM probs, some local security loopholes).
