Description of problem:
The up2date agent has an issue with updating the kernel.  What happens is, once 
you have updated several kernels, the lilo label names become too long for 
lilo.  It appears the naming schema for old kernels is linux-up.bak1 , linux-
up.bak12, linux-up.bak123, linux-up.bak1234.  The last in that list is where 
lilo complains about the character length of the string, 16.  So after an 
up2date that updates the kernel you have, up2date gives an error saying lilo 
test failed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RedHat 7.3 on i686
LILO version 21.4-4
2.4.18-19.7.xsmp
Red Hat Update Agent v2.8.39


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
Simply supply an image within lilo.conf which exceeds the 16 character label 
name limit.

1. Give an image a label name >= 16 characters
   Label for an Image: LABEL_0123456789
2. run lilo
   you get) Lilo Error: Fatal: Label "LABEL_0123456789" is too long

I am aware this is more a lilo thing but if you want up2date to be completelty 
transparent/hands off, the up2date binary should know about this label name 
limit and adjust what names it gives to the old kernel images.

Actual results:


Expected results:


Additional info:
The fix is easy: just rename the labels, run lilo again and reboot.
