Lilo and 2.4.9 problems

[Brian Kelsay]

And now a reply without a smart*** comment.

Look at the value for "default =linux249-1", now look at the line
"label=vmlinuz249".  Shouldn't that be "label=linux249-1"?   I think the
two must match.  Try changing one or the other and rerun lilo and
restart and se what happens.   Also, I think you want "image =
/boot/linux249082501"  to match the actual path to the new kernel.   If
the image is actually called "linux_2.4.9-082501" then that is how you
must call it from lilo or it might actually be called
"vmlinuz-2.4.9-082501" only your compiler knows the truth.

Hope this helps
