Hello,

look in /boot for the image names
Also, don't forget to run lilo after editing lilo.conf

#ls /boot
#vi /etc/lilo.conf
#lilo
#shutdown -r now

Subject: new Kernel - how to point to it in lilo


Hi Group,

I have just downloaded a new Linux kernel, with instructions on how to set
it up..

So far I have -

backed up the original /usr/src/linux-2.4.2-2 directory to linux-2.4.2-2-old
unpacked the new linux-2.4.9.tar.gz file
gone through the make config options
run a "make dep"
run a "make clean"
run a "make zImage"

and now I have ended up with a directory /usr/src/linux with loads of files
including the zImage, this must be the new compiled kernel.

this next bit is where im stumbling a little :)

I have gone into the /etc/lilo.conf, and im faced with this -

boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
message=/boot/message
linear
default=Linux

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.2-2
        label=Linux
        read-only
        root=/dev/hda3

I presume the "image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.2-2" refers to the old kernel in some
way, I have taken a look in the new /usr/src/linux directory and the closest
file I can find to this is -

vmlinux

would I replace with this ?

but other than this im a little lost

sorry - this whole thing may seem very vague.

Best Regards
Pete
