I know you said that you've built kernels before, but to me (I've never used 
suse) it sounds like I need to ask this question:  Did you move the kernel to 
/boot/bzImage before or after you ran lilo.  If you did it after than it 
won't take any effect.   Probably a silly question, but I just wanted to 
clear it up.
