Finally got it to work.
I found on that on the production box there was already a 2.4.20-20.7.img
in /boot so edited lilo to look like this:
-------------------------------------------
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
message=/boot/message
linear
default=linux
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-20.7
label=linux
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.20-20.7.img
root=/dev/hda1
read-only
--------------------------------------------
then I ran /sbin/lilo -v and I got an error message about sectors/disk size
and try lba32, so I did a google search and found out I should replace
'linear' with 'lba32' and finally ended up with this:
--------------------------------------------
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
message=/boot/message
lba32
default=linux
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-20.7
label=linux
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.20-20.7.img
root=/dev/hda1
read-only
-------------------------------------------
re-ran /sbin/lilo -v and it worked. I rebooted and now the proper kernel
is running.
Thanks for your help
