Java and RH 7.2 (kernel 2.4)

Java is no longer working on my upgraded system. I type in "java" and get no response, not even an error message. I can abort from it with Ctrl-C, but my previously installed java 1.3.1 system from Sun no longer seems to work on my redhat system. Is the Sun version not compatible with 2.4.x

Has anyone experienced this? After upgrading to redhat 7.2 (from 7.0) , when LILO loads the keyboard refuses input. Lilo is working - whatever OS has been set as default will load, but you can't change it with the keyboard. What could the problem be here? I can boot with a floppy, and then th

Is there a way to build a kernel that's exactly like the one you have now? I know that sounds like a stupid thing to want to do but it appears to be the only way out of my difficulties. I have just upgraded from RH7.0 to RH7.2 but I have screwed up my bootloaders in the upgrade (never mind how,

Aargh! I am in upgrade hell. I tried to upgrade a system that was running 7.0 to 7.2. It is a dual boot system with Win 98 running in the other partition. The hard drive was partitioned originally using Partition Magic. OK. I started the upgrade and I didn't think it through clearly enough.
