Is that what the error message says? > 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. You need to create an initrd that contains at least the drivers for your SCSI disk. Something like: mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.18-SGI_XFS_1.1smp.img 2.4.18-SGI_XFS_1.1smp Then use the newly created initrd image in lilo.conf, rerun lilo, yada yada. The syntax shown for mkinitrd may not be quite right.
