Hi,
Yes I followed everything in the instructions but it
would still not boot to the new kernel. How can I now the version
of my kernel at the root prompt? What command do I have to type
to show my kernel version aside from the one that appears
when you boot the system.
here is my lilo.conf:
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
default=linux
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.12-20
label=linux
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.12-20.img
read-only
root=/dev/hda1
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.18
label=new
read-only
root=/dev/hda1
-------END OF LILO.CONF-------
Then I ran lilo -v and rebooted.
Do I still need to create the initrd-2.2.18.img?
How do I create it?
Thanks again.
