I think the kernel must reside in a partition below cylinder
1024. The LILO manual (/usr/doc/lilo/Manual.txt.gz)
provides a detailed description.

You're getting close. It appears that you have customized
your kernel and now you need to downlod the pcmcia-source
package and recompile it too. You are probably trying to
load pcmcia modules that were built to be compatible with
the stock kernel image. Follow the directions in

This is *not* a flame. This list is kind of touchy lately. It's just
that I'm a big fan of bash (with vi editting mode instead of emacs) and
if there's a better shell out there I'd like to give it a try. It just
doesn't sound like zsh has anything to offer that bash doesn't.

You need to create a file containing the block numbers of
