Does there exist a version of Lilo built for x86_64 CentOS 5? It does not seem to be on the DVD. *I* really, really, prefer Lilo over Grub.

If you must use lilo ... the version of lilo available from:
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/boot/lilo/
works just fine on CentOS-5.

Thanks. I'm guessing that I'll have to manually update lilo.conf after kernel updates.

If I remember correctly, lilo.conf gets updated automatically (but don't quote on me). :-D
But you must run /sbin/lilo -v for each kernel update.

Looks like the new kernel stanza gets added to lilo.conf automatically, but the default needs to be changed manually.

OK, not a problem.
I did look at the grub.conf that was generated and things are a little different from what I expected (I selected 'Virtualization' during the install process):
title CentOS (2.6.18-164.el5xen) root (hd0,0) kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-164.el5 module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-164.el5xen ro root=LABEL=/c5 irqpoll module /initrd-2.6.18-164.el5xen.img
The grub 'module' option is new to me and I am unsure how this maps to lilo (the lilo docs don't talk about multi-boot, which I guess is what is going on here, at least from reading the grub docs).

You'll need to do some work. GRUB is smarter than lilo: http://wpkg.org/Running_Xen_with_LILO

That's ok, I randomly see that with grub, too.

grub is supposed to set the default kernel to the newly installed one (type) as specified on the DEFAULTKERNEL= line in /etc/sysconfig/kernel (for example, kernel, kernel-xen, kernel-PAE,).

Yes, well, the emphasis in your statement is "supposed to". It does not always happen, to the point where when I do a kernel update, I check.
10%? 15% of the time, it doesn't.

I use grub, but I wish I could go back to lilo - it was so much less complicated and finicky.
