There's a nice little kernel compilation mini-howto that might be of some help over at linuxquestions.org here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=threadid=91503 That one's more geared toward Red Hat, but there's also a good little guide in the Slackware forum: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=threadid=49035 ~Jordan Dana Schoonover wrote: Hello All, I am upgrading my kernel for the first time.. and I'm kind of not sure what step comes next..

The problem lies somewhere with your boot loader not booting the kernel you want it to. Could you tell us something about it? Is it grub or lilo? The contents of your /etc/lilo.conf or /boot/grub/grub.conf (or /boot/grub/menu.lst)?

I have worked on her system before, it is GRUB. RH has the sym links for both grub config files, so either one should work. Caleb.

Err, yeah, I guess we are running lilo now :) Anyway, you probably need to run lilo -v as root in order to re-write your boot record.
