Hi

I have installed 8.0 additionally to the 7.0 I already have installed, very
nice.  However the installation of 8.0 rewrote my MBR automatically.  No
problem, I edited lilo.conf to boot the 2.2 kernel from my 7.0
distribution.  However when choosing the 7.0 option, it boots but gets lots
of errors ie System.map is for a 2.4.3 kernel.  Consequently none of my
device drivers or interfaces get loaded ie eth0.  Do I need to specify a
different map for the old image in lilo.conf?  Is it possible to boot a 2.2
and a 2.4 kernel on the same machine.  Here is a sample from dmesg when
booting 7.0
