Hmm. I understand what you're saying but my /boot does not contain any =
kernel - the file LILO boots at the moment in /vmlinuz and is presumably =
the compiled 2.2.19 kernel. Does this mean I have to first compile the =
2.4.5 kernel? The sources are installed on the machine, but so should =
the pre-compiled kernel (I just can't find it); the kernel and its =
sources were installed as two separate packages (for both versions, ie =
two 'kernel' packages and two 'kernel source' packages)

If both kernels have been installed, you should be able to set them up =
in the=20
LILO menu. Edit the file /etc/lilo.conf and add an entry for your 2.4 =
kernel.=20
You can use the existing "linux" kernel as a template - copy the =
entire=20
section, change the label and change all the filenames to the correct =
ones=20
for the 2.4 kernel (you can check the filenames in /boot). Finally, =
run=20
"lilo" to update the boot record with the new settings.
