It ain't much warmer out here Wayne!
What I *normally* do is:
1) Check that there's a copy of the latest build in /boot, use the
date/time for reference. If not, copy or move from ~/linux/arch/i386/boot/
your new image. The files will be:
bzImage (make bzImage & make bzlilo)
zImage (make zImage)
vmlinuz (make & make install (I think!))
Then, edit /etc/lilo.conf and either add a new image section or point the
old section to the new file a la:
# LILO
# Start LILO global Section
boot=/dev/hda
#compact # faster, but won't work on all systems.
read-only
prompt
timeout=100
vga = normal # force sane state
# End LILO global section
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/bzImage
#image = /vmlinuz
root = /dev/hda1
label = Linux
# Linux bootable partition config ends
#
(image = /boot/bzImage is my new compressed kernel image)
Then run /sbin/lilo
lilo's output should be akin to:
added
*bzImage
foo
If you have more than one boot choice, the item marked with * will be the
default boot device.
If that fails or you have a dual-booter, try man lilo and the mini-HOWTO's.
Good luck OM
