How do I ensure new kernel will boot?

I have just done a 'pacman -Syu' and noticed that kernel26-2.6.4-1 is included in the updates.  I'm currenlty running Arch 0.6 with the stock kernel 2.6.3.  What do I need to do to ensure that my machine will boot with the new kernel?  Do I just run

# lilo

from a command prompt?  Is there something additional I should do?  I haven't updated a kernel in Arch yet and didn't see a recent post that explicitly explained it.  If I missed, please point me to that.

Thank you.

You only run lilo if you're using lilo as your boot manager.  If you're using grub, then you don't have to type anything.

OK, thanks.  I'll get into 'tweaking' the kernel questions later.
