Oh, what's a girl to do?
After reading the kernel-HOWTO, I downloaded a 2.4.4 tarball, untarring it
into /usr/src. Following the instructions in the HOWTO, I 'make
xconfig'ed, 'make dep'ed, and 'make bzdisk'ed. At that point I booted
succesfully from that floppy and unamed to verify I was running 2.4.4
succesfully.
Rebooting using the 2.2.17 that I originally had, and again following the
HOWTO, I 'make bzImage'd, replaced /vmlinuz (which appears to have been a
symlink to something in /boot) with /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage0
and ran lilo, then tried to reboot.
Currently at boot, after the hardware does its thing, "LIL-" appears, then
nothing happens.
I would like to munge things so I can boot from my old 2.2.17 kernel OR my
2.4.4 kernel (which, since the boot disk worked, I am guessing I put in
place wrong?), AND learn how to do it right next time. Ugh. Help the
newbie? Please?
