Thanks to Dave for suggestions that bring me to this working solution (also if it's for sure not the best).
Simply during the install procedure before reboot the box substitute the link /vmlinuz with the custo kernel and rexecute lilo choosing in the menu (Boot linux directly from HD). Now the box is able to boot also if there might be some errors during modules dependencies calculation (floppy has 2.2.17-pre6-1 inside while i used a normal 2.2.16) that must be fixed in the next kernel recompilation to make everything clean. Thanks again Dave and to the list. Fabio Fabio Massimo Di Nitto wrote: > > Hi all, > > I really need a fast help.
