First copy the new kernel to /boot (make sure /boot is mounted) with a new name like test or something
Then copy this part to the end of lilo.conf. > image = /boot/bzImage > root = /dev/hda7 > label = Gentoo > read-only # read-only for checking and change these: image=name of your new kernel (say Test) label=Test Then save and exit. Run lilo - t and it will tell you if everything is okay. If not fix it, then when all is well run lilo. Then reboot and you can test your new kernel. Also man lilo and man lilo.conf will help.
