That should fix up the soft links that lilo is using. In any case you shoul=
d
examine /etc/lilo.conf and the soft links it points at to make sure
everything's correct. Don't forget to rerun lilo.
BTW, have you enabled the initrd in lilo.conf?

You shouldn't need to patch to write UDF. I did not need to earlier in the
year when I compiled a kernel for some UDF tests. I don't remember the
options I turned on, but they were standard in the kernel from debian. I
think they're in the official kernel tree.

Sounds like something didn't get enabled to allow the UDF write portion of
the decision tree to come available.
Hmm. Is there still a flag for 'experimental' stuff?
