You need to tell lilo to use the initrd that comes with the kernel image (as you are told during installation of the kernel). If the new kernel is symlinkes to /vmlinuz, add a line initrd=/initrd.img to the Linux section of your lilo.conf and run lilo. Or switch to grub. best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 ICQ #17079270 Registered Linux User #267976 http://www.andreas-janssen.de/debian-tipps-sarge.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
