When you say you edited lilo.conf it makes me a little curious, since normally you don't have to do that when you use suse's rpms. Could you post your lilo.conf, and also indicate how you created your initial ramdisk (ie. what parameters you used with mk_initrd)?
Thank you, Anders, kindly :) I ran MK_INITRD without parameters [ presumably default was used ] My current kernel was compiled by me, from source. The RPM kernel that I am trying to install is called VMLINUZ the kernel rpm is called :- k%5fdeflt_2.4.18-231_i386.rpm { I suspect, that, /etc/sysconfig/kernel which contains, only : INITRD_MODULES = "reiserfs" maybe also needs module "ide-scsi" } This is my /etc/lilo.conf :- ......................................... # Modified by YaST2.
