This is just my personal experience, but I build with no module support all the time and I've never put the root="nomodules /dev/hda9" in the lilo.conf file. Have you tried it without the "nomodules" statement? Also, are your boot= default= and image= options set right (especially to the new kernel and not the previous one)? -Matt On Fri, 10 Sep 2004 16:01:28 -0400 (EDT) Tony Gogoi <tgogoi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hello, > > This question is about the monolithic kernel again.
