Well, I did that and it kind of worked - but I don't think the problem is
with installkernel.
I did the rpm -ivh --force kernel..rpm and it installed.
I then added that to my lilo.conf as label SMP:
prompt
timeout=50
default=Linux
boot=/dev/sda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message
linear
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-4SGI_XFS_1.1
label=Linux
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-4SGI_XFS_1.1.img
read-only
root=/dev/sda2
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-SGI_XFS_1.1smp
label=SMP
read-only
root=/dev/sda2
I tried it with and without the initrd line under SMP. Both ways I get a
kernel panic because it can't mount the devices I assume.
What else do I have to do - do I have to link the modules-info and
System.map to the new smp modules. I must be missing something here.
Thanks.
