shane: I am a little confused. Do you mean that I use the old entry in lilo.conf but change the label? for example: change vmlinuz-2.4.20-8(the one I have before my compiling) to vmlinuz-2.4.20-9(the one I get after my compiling the kernel), and do the same to System.map, then run lilo? What is result of lilo, will it change something in /boot? for example, will it change config-x.xx.xx? At present time, I found that the config file in /boot is out of date comparing to my vmlinuz. For the '*', do you mean that it will come up in lilo.conf? I am sorry I don't take my machine with me right now and I can't practice it right now. So I just want to get more detail . thanks ping > > anyway, so if you aren't using grub then i take it you are using lilo? > before i went to grub, when i built my kernel i did not use the make > install command at all. after running: > > # make dep clean;make bzImage modules modules_install > > i copy System.map and bzImage to /boot. rename bzImage to vmlinuz-x.x.xx > and setup a symlink System.map to System.map-x.x.xx > > then edit /etc/lilo.conf to add the new entry. you just use the previous > entry and change the label associated with the previous kernel to match > the new one. > > then run: > # lilo > > you should see a * appear next to the new entry, indicating it has been > added. > -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
