Well, no.  The kernel is compiled and available in arch/i386/boot/zImage,
then it's up to the user to move it to the appropriate /etc/lilo.conf
referenced place.

You can put it wherever you want. Modern distributions (such as SuSE
and maybe Red Hat) create a /boot *partition* so that the 1024-cylinder
BIOS-bug is bypassed.

To my knowledge, nothing automatic moves your kernel to /vmlinuz. In
my case it would be ineffective, since I always name my kernel
by versions (vmlinuz-2.0.37pre7).
