You might need to copy vmlinuz.old to vmlinuz, if the replaced /etc/lilo.conf doesn't mention vmlinuz.old, or do some appropriate I went ahead and pased the address to vmlinuz.old and got it going that way. Temporary Brain Panic. I've since compiled one with no modules, and now I'm making one with one feature moduleized, testing it and if it works, I'll go ahead and do another one with yet another module and so on. Also something new, I've got a notepad here and am writing down every step I do, my kernel config is stored in 2 or 3 places includimg on a DOS floppy. Ya can't be too paranoid!! Thanks.

If you can boot up from a recover floppy then try and mount your normal root under /mnt and get at your modules (or recover your old kernel). Hope this helps. I know how this feels (since I've done it more than a few times myself :) Thanks, Glen. Actually I panicked a little too early, as I had forgotten that my append line in /etc/lilo.conf had to be in each stanza. I merely added the address param. to the boot: prompt and got it back. I re-compiled a new kernel with the scsi driver in (and a couple of other things), and now I'm experimenting with modules by making a full-featured kernel then modulizing one feature at a time to find out which ones work best as modules.
