I've upgraded my desktop-machine from SuSE 6.4 (kernel 2.2.14) to SuSE 7.1, intending to use kernel 2.4.

When I select the 2.4 kernel in yast, it seems to install it, reruns lilo... and I reboot, only to end up with the 2.2.18 again... I've tried this several times (even selecting 2.4 for i386 doesn't work).

Help?

Kind regards

Maybe you have 2.2.18 and 2.4.0 installed and that the default is set to 2.2.18. Do you have the option to choose what kernel to boot in the LILO prompt?

So, was the modutils package correctly upgraded to 2.4.x and/or does the kernel modules directory for this version exists under /lib/modules?

Hi, If your system is a pure IDE system, have a look at : http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/yast1_kernel24_install.html Did you upgrade yast1 ? ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/7.1/a1 Hope this helps. filip Le Vendredi 23 Mars 2001 09:27, Guy Van Sanden a écrit :

The modules directory for 2.4 exist... I configured LILO (also manually)... but it's not working. I've tried the upgrade on a second machine, same deal... :-(

I'm having trouble with the mailinglist to, I'm reading these messages trough my browser in the archives...
