Hello all:
Going bonkers trying to get new kernel so that it can be selected
at bootup. Lilo says it's there, but doesn't show up in the bootup
sequence. It's the same OLD kernels.
Configuration: Intel PII 300MHz MMX, 64 Megs, 3 Gig, RH 7.1
All operations as root:
30 Sept 2001:
New install - RH 7.1 on Intel PII
Compile new kernel w/AX25 support, copied to /boot w/new name
Modified lilo.conf - new kernel into position 1, old one bumped down
Ran lilo - all messages OK (showed 2 kernels)
Reboot - shows new and old kernels, boots correctly to new kernel
(Everything runs fine for next year+)
22 Jan 2003
Downloaded latest -headers, -source, and -docs for kernel 2.4.18
from RedHat and installed them.
Compiled new kernel w/AX25 support, copied to /boot w/new name
Modified lilo.conf - new kernel into position 1, old ones bumped down
Run lilo - all messages OK (showed 3 kernels) *see messages below
Reboot - shows the very same TWO boot choices as before
(and the one called "linux" is indeed the OLD kernel)
Check file names/suffixes etc., but no errors *see lilo.conf below
Lilo, reboot, same two as before (even tried lilo via webmin interface)
No choice for the latest kernel!
What am I missing here? I've been through all my docs and googled
this thing to death but no joy. It still runs just fine with the old
kernel but where is the new one?
Help will be greatly appreciated,
Bill
