Hi list,
problem with RH8. Went into the lilo config in the control center in
KDE, and removed all the entries for old kernels so that only the
current one is listed. I had 2.4.18-14, and 2.4.18-17.8.0, and I had
just downloaded and installed 2.4.18-18.8.0. So I removed the old ones,
and left only the 18.8.0 one and made it default. When I went to
re-boot, I am now getting this error 'kernel panic. no init found. try
passing init-option to kernel', and the system freezes. I can now only
boot off floppy. When I go back into the control centre, and then
select probe, it brings back all the old entries, and everything looks
like it used to, but it still only shows the 18.8.0 kernel on the lilo
boot when I re-boot the computer, and it still freezes. When I do check
configuration in the control center this is what comes up:
Configuration NOT ok. LILO said:

All I really want to do is boot from the new kernel, but my boot disk
brings up the old kernel,and lilo is stuffed.
HELP ME!!!!
thanks

Lilo is refusing to install because it detects a duplicate label
(as it reports). You need to change the "label=" sections to
reflect what you are trying to boot and have those labels unique
(the labels are what lilo display when you hit <tab> at the boot prompt.

then lilo should be able to install itself.
