Re: new kernel-2.4.18-17.8.0 RPM damages lilo.conf file

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm surprised you 'upgraded' the kernel rather than 'install'-ed it. 
Installing gives you an older working kernel to fall back on if 
something goes brain dead wrong.

Do you mean you are missing a new stanza in lilo.conf for booting the 
upgraded kernel? I wonder what is in  /boot/grub/grub.conf?
