Is there any specific reason you need to use LILO? I have run into a similar issue, and my solution with GRUB was to run the following in the post install: "perl -pi -e 's/default=.*/default=0/g' /boot/grub/grub.conf" Good luck --N -----Original Message----- From: Beattie, Chad [mailto:Chad.Beattie@xxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, July 18, 2002 3:24 PM To: kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Upgrade kernel from kickstart -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am working on automating a RedHat 7.3 setup on a couple of DL380 servers. I have built a custom kernel and made an rpm package from the original src rpm for the generic kernel. After installing the base os, I copy over some additional rpm files in the %post section of the script. I then install the rpm packages. After the rpm's are done, I copy over a pre-made lilo.conf file for the new kernel, the last command I run from kickstart is /sbin/lilo -v. From watching the install, everything works fine, even the lilo command works without any errors. After server is rebooted, it still boots to the old kernel. If I log into the server and run lilo again and reboot, it boots to the new kernel. Anything I am missing here? Here are the messages I get. This one is what I see when watching the kickstart install via the virtual terminal: Message when lilo is run at the end of kickstart.

Now, after kickstart, the boot menu only shows linux and it still points to old kernel. After reboot, I run lilo again. Here is the output.
