You're new kernel is /vmlinuz . Lilo.conf points to /boot/vmlinuz . Create
a new kernel a million times and it still will execute the old kernel. I
can't imagine why L.M. delivers it this way! Either:
1) cp -a /vmlinuz /boot/vmlinuz
2) change /etc/lilo.conf to image=/vmlinuz
or better
3) edit /usr/src/linux/Makefile and change INSTALL_PATH= to
INSTALL_PATH=/boot
then make bzlilo
Hope this helps,
Bill
P.S. You can skip the make bzImage step when you build a new kernel. And
after make bzlilo, don't forget:
make modules
make modules_install

Subject: [expert] mdksecure kernel and SMP
Hi all,
I'm new to the list and loath to call myself an expert, but I think I need
experts to answer my question and there's no "sort-of-expert" category.
I've just installed Mandrake Linux 7.0-2 with paranoid security level and
using the mandrake secure kernel. I wound up with 2 kernels in lilo.conf,
linux (vmlinuz-secure) and linux-up (vmlinuz).
I found while trying to install some software meant for uni-processor
machines (OSS) that the secure kernel defaults to SMP on. So I did the ol'
xconfig; make dep; make bzImage; make bzlilo with the SMP option off,
rebooted and it was still SMP.
I gather from the above that the secure kernel comes precompiled only, with
SMP on and no source, so you cannot make any changes. Is there a patch to
the un-secured kernel to deal with the buffer-overflow attacks, so that I
can configure the kernel to my system? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Joanne
