I did not make a boot floppy at the end of the kernel configuration where it was an option. The default was "no" and with all my failures, I think that I have made about eight kernels by now, I thought that making a floppy can wait until I prove that the CD writer works.At this point, I do not know how to make a boot floppy because I doubt that lilo is booting the kernel that I made. I did make dep and make clean but not the others. My guide did not call for them. My main lilo is on another partition and because cat /proc/devices lists ide not scsi devices, my guess is that it is not booting the new kernel. On the other hand, the line append ="hdc=ide-scsi" disables my cdrom. If I want to use the cdrom, I must comment out this line in lilo. I would like to try booting from the lilo which the kernel configuration process created.It resides on the partition where I want to use it, but I do not know how to boot from the partition. sidney > __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
