BTW - I can compile kernels a lot easier than susewmif by typing in the full make commands (dep,clean,modules, etc, etc). At least I know what I'm compiling and how, etc!
Yep, I'd have to agree here. BTW, if you compile and use different kernel versions you might find this changed rule for zlilo in linux/arch/i386/boot/Makefile helpfull: zlilo: $(CONFIGURE) $(BOOTIMAGE) if [ -f $(INSTALL_PATH)/vmlinuz-$(KERNELRELEASE) ]; then \ mv $(INSTALL_PATH)/vmlinuz-$(KERNELRELEASE) $(INSTALL_PATH)/vmlinuz.old; \ fi if [ -f $(INSTALL_PATH)/System.map-$(KERNELRELEASE) ]; then \ mv $(INSTALL_PATH)/System.map-$(KERNELRELEASE) $(INSTALL_PATH)/System.old; \ fi cat $(BOOTIMAGE) > $(INSTALL_PATH)/vmlinuz-$(KERNELRELEASE) cp $(TOPDIR)/System.map $(INSTALL_PATH)/System.map-$(KERNELRELEASE) if [ -x /sbin/lilo ]; then /sbin/lilo; else /etc/lilo/install; fi As you can see, calling 'make zlilo' (or 'make bzlilo') will result in a kernel and symbol map that both have the version as part of the name. The only thing you have to do manually is to add a new section to /etc/lilo.conf for every kernel you want to be able to boot. But otherwise I find this very handy, specially if you're also using development kernels, e.g. 2.2.X-preY or 2.3.X.
