Hello, I can select the proper image to boot in the LILO selections, but the problem is that the incorrect "vmlinuz" is being booted. The "vmlinuz" pointed to on the SCSI /dev/sda5 is being booted instead of the "vmlinuz" pointed to on the /dev/hde6 UltraDMA 66 controller. The correct "root" filesystem is being loaded and setup, but the incorrect kernel. -- Lonnie Quoting "Sheldon E.
