When installing kernel images, the installer first give a lengthy warning about initrds. If one continues, it offers to wipe out your old lilo, etc. Word to the wize: DON'T.
After installation is done, leaving lilo alone: Edit lilo.conf and add the new kernel image and its initrd to the bootup choices. Then, ALWAYS, rerun lilo. Before doing the installation, make sure the /etc/mkinitrd/mkinitrd.conf and .../modules are what you need. My first attemp to run 2.6.* panicked but suggested I specify the boot device. The place to do it is in mkinitrd.conf. Don't use "probe", specify the device and file system, in quotes. All plays fine. example: ROOT="/dev/hdb1 ext3" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
