Download the appropriate kernel or get it off a distribution disk and use Kpackage or rpm to install it. 2. Open linuxconf and go to Boot Mode->LILO linux configurations and you should see some lines like this: Label Partition kernel linux /dev/hda6 /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14-1mdk add new_linux /dev/hda6* /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14-15mdk *the /dev/hda6 should be the root partition you want to use witrh this kernel, probably the same as the older one Now go to CHANGE default boot configuration and select new_linux as the default. Depending on the vintage of linuxconf you have this may have different methods of doing.... Then quit activating changes If your linuxconf is from 6.x, you might have to run the following # lilo to activate the changes, or you might not. It will not impede anything if you do run it, so do it. Civileme
