No, it very much looks like you are still running the old kernel.
image=/boot/vmlinuz is the kernel you are running. However this filename
gives no indication of the version. uname -r tells us though.
The initrd and rpm commands are misleading. All they tell me is that you
have the 2.2.16-22 kernel installed.
I'm not at my RHL box, so double check the filenames you have in /boot/
before making this change. If you do a ls -l you will see a few vmlinuz*
entries. I suspect you have a vmlinuz-2.2.12-20, a vmlinuz-2.2.16-22, and a
vmlinuz softlinked to vmlinuz-2.2.12-20.
Try this
- add a new lilo.conf entry
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-22
label=linux-new
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.16-22.img
<any additional options you have>
- save and run 'lilo'
- reboot and at the lilo prompt type linux-new
If it works, you can modify lilo.conf again so it boots the new kernel by
default. Assuming this solves your problem, I suspect you won't find a
soundcore.o in your /lib/modules/2.2.12-20/ directory.
Good luck
John
