Tanguy:

Rather than installing a new kernel, you'd be better off patching up to
.35 from your current .32. Go to the 'Patches" directory on the ftp site
and follow the instructions for how to patch from .32 to .35.

Hello,

First of all you make a make zimage or a zlilo ?

If you do zlilo is the /etc/lilo.conf showing in the right vmlinuz ???
