Did you run lilo after you made the changes? John Julian -----Original Message----- From: linux-admin-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-admin-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Tony Gogoi Sent: Friday, April 02, 2004 12:09 PM To: linux-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: /etc/lilo.conf Hello, I built a custom linux monolithic kernel (RedHat 7.1 kernel 2.4). After doing "make bzImage", I copied the newly created bzImage to /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.2-2TONY and appended the following lines to /etc/lilo.conf. image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.2-2TONY label=linux-TONY read-only root=/dev/hda5 However, on rebooting the PC, there is no change to the graphical user interface of LILO ? Even if there's a problem with the kernel image, I expected that at least a new line would've been created in boot options on rebooting. I was wondering what the problem could be becoz this procedure works with "grub.conf" and Redhat 9.1.?
