/etc/lilo.conf

/etc/lilo.conf

[Tony Gogoi]

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.?

Thanks,
Tony

Did you run lilo after you made the changes?

hi

	if you have any questions first type 'man program_name' for
	answers;) you should 'reinstall' lilo by using command ... 'lilo' :]
	also you can use with option -v to make lilo more verbose.

'label' line is meant to be before image isnt it? A bit like brackets in C 
delimiting that description block...

No. Each section starts with "image" or "other". "label" is an option;
if no label option is specified, the image's filename is used instead.
