Have you tried running the kernel off of a floppy? That would at
least confirm it's working.

That's a big kernel. Do you mean vmlinux (which could be that large)
or bzImage (which shouldn't be)?

> But isn't there a way to install the bzImage?
Usually, you go:

cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage.2.4.18

and add a section to lilo.conf:

image = /boot/bzImage.2.4.18
	label = some_label
	read-only

before rerunning lilo:

/sbin/lilo -v

If that doesn't work, then please post the output and the contents of
your lilo.conf to the list.

Steven Smith,
