am I getting this right - you need to rerun lilo even though you call the new kernel exactly the same name?
that makes no sense to me, grub just boots the file you point it at, if you change to a new kernel you backup your old kernel and copy the new one where it used to be. (if you are a real man you forget the first part) mv /boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage.1 (or 2 or whatever you are up to) cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot and reboot If the new kernel doesn't boot, you can run grub by hand, ie type in the boot commands at the grub prompt, or you can edit the boot line (at the grub prompt hit "e" to edit, scroll to the the boot kernel line, hit "e" again, edit it to change bzImage to bzImage.1, hit <enter>, hit "b" (for boot) and away you go with the old kernel.
