there is a good how to at the linux document project; it is not RH specific, but it showed me enough to get on the right path to greater problems... I am finding that kernel upgrading is tricky. http://www.tldp.org/Kernel-HOWTO/index.html G On Wed, 2003-07-09 at 19:59, Go, Jeffrey wrote: > Hi A

No, what they're saying is that the entry in lilo.conf is incorrect. It needs to by vmlinuz-2.2.16-3, unless you've made a symlink from vmlinuz-2.2.16-3 to vmlinux-2.2.16-3. > On Wednesday 31 January 2001 06:38, Tomás García Ferrari opined: > > Then I add in /etc/lilo.conf this: > > > image=/boot

Try using -U instead of -i. It looks like rpm is saying it can't install because it already exists...howerver, -U is upgrade...which may very well work. Also, instead of /boot/vmlinux-2.2.16-3, see if /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-3 exists...if so, change the "Boot image:" line to read vmlinuz, instead.

I asked myself the same question. And since I could not find the answer, what I did to keep the same config is : - unpack redhat kernel source rpm - did make xconfig-> Save config to file : myconfig - cp myconfig -> new kernel source - did make xconfig in the new kernel source -> Load config

Hi, Jamie, Did you use 'make xconfig' to configure your new kernel? In the main menu of xconfig, there's a button called Save Configuration to File. Click this and give it a file name. Then the next time you compile a new kernel, click the Load Configuration from File button in the xconfig mai
