Re: kernel upgrade

[Dwight Schauer <dschauer vcsd com>]

Did you leave the last kernel entry in lilo.conf?
Just boot that one if you did. Or the boot disk you during the redhat install (If you made one)

When changing lilo.conf, you should NEVER have it ONLY point to the kernel you just configured. At a minimum you should always keep at least an
extra entry to the last
kernel that you know worked. I happen to be a little more paranoid and keep all boot entries that worked, and just keep renaming the older
entries.

$ cat /etc/lilo.conf
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/bzImage2210-3jul99
        label=linux
        root=/dev/hda2
        read-only
image=/boot/bzImage229-14may99
        label=linux4
        root=/dev/hda2
        read-only
image=/boot/bzImage228-11may99
        label=linux3
        root=/dev/hda2
        read-only
image=/boot/bzImage227-11may99
        label=linux2
        root=/dev/hda2
        read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-15
        label=linux1
        root=/dev/hda2
        read-only
