If it continues to boot boot the second image, then you need to run lilo again. Just run
/sbin/lilo
and if it doesn't have any errors, everything should be set (and it will highlight whichever kernel is set at the default kernel, with a *)

Hello,
I've just updated to the new kernel on a P3 1Ghz/512 running RH7.3.
After installing the rpm, it gave an error saying name too long. I assume this had to do with lilo, so I took a look at my lilo.conf. It did indeed enter in the correct path for the entry. Here's what I have listed:
#################### prompt timeout=3 default=linux boot=/dev/hde map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b message=/boot/message linear
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-30.7.legacy label=linux root=/dev/hde3 read-only initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.20-30.7.legacy.img image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-28.7 label=linuxold root=/dev/hde3 read-only initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.20-28.7.img image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-27.7 label=linuxold2 root=/dev/hde3 read-only initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.20-27.7.img image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-24.7.x label=linuxstock root=/dev/hde3 read-only initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-24.7.x.img #####################
So I did a reboot, but for some reason, it continues to boot the second entry, image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-28.7. Can this have something to do with the name too long issue?
Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, just thought someone here may shed some light. thx.

Just to be clear, these are the same kernels that have been available for testing for a while right? I want to make sure that I have this one allready updated, I have kernel-bigmem-2.4.20-30.7.legacy installed, is that the same as this release level? thanks, sorry to be obtuse, but I want to make sure.
