X-Sender-Ip: 209.148.70.123 Organization: Lycos Mail (http://mail.lycos.com:80) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Language: en Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi, I did compile my new kernel 2.4 on a Red Hat 6.0 Linux system. My Linux System was installed so that it can boot from a floppy. So on the boot floppy, I have LILO (On the hard drive, there's also LILO). For booting my new kernel (/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.0), I added following stanza to /etc/lilo.conf (the one on the hard drive): image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.0 label=linux2.4 root=/dev/hda2 read-only. Lilo was correctly saved. But when I rebooted the system with the boot floppy, LILO wont display linux2.4 so that I can boot with it! LILO would only show up the old linux. I when adding the same stanza (as previously mentionned) to /etc/lilo.conf that is on the floppy. But the problem is still the same: I do not have the choice to boot with linux2.4!
