when you installed the new kernel it should have made a /vmlinuz.old symlink which will point to your last kernel. If you reboot and hit the control key at the LILO: promp you can then boot this old kernel. Once you have rebooted under the old kernel you can do dpkg --purge kernel.... and make a new one. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
