- Are you booting from lilo ? In that case you have to reinstall lilo
- after making a new kernel. (usually make lilo will do this for you.
- Or you can go to /etc/lilo and type ./install manually after
- copying the new kernel where it belongs. (= where specified in the
- install script)).
-
- Good luck.
