[NTLUG:Discuss] LILO: no signature found

[Alton R. Pouncey, II]

How big is vmlinuz.suse?  Did /sbin/lilo get upgraded in the install?

Until you figure this out, may I suggest that you create an entry to the
old, presumably working, kernel in lilo.conf.  This will make your life
a little easier as you can then choose to boot the working kernel in
LILO if you so choose.
