Instructions to unsubscribe from this list at the end of the message - --------------------------------------------------------------------- If both kernels have been installed, you should be able to set them up in the LILO menu. Edit the file /etc/lilo.conf and add an entry for your 2.4 kernel. You can use the existing "linux" kernel as a template - copy the entire section, change the label and change all the filenames to the correct ones for the 2.4 kernel (you can check the filenames in /boot). Finally, run "lilo" to update the boot record with the new settings.
