Hello everyone - I seem to have run into a problem while upgrading to the 2.4.16 SuSE kernel. Here's what I have done: 1. Downloaded all necessary packages from ftp.suse.com (all RPM's from the kernel folder), installed them with YAST1 (by the way, what's the difference between installing a RPM with YAST and issuing rpm -Uvh?) 2. Went into /usr/src/linux and typed 'make menuconfig', then 'make dep', 'make bzImage', 'make modules' and 'make modules_install', followed by 'mk_initrd' 3. Copied bzImage to /boot, modified /etc/lilo.conf, run 'lilo' When I rebooted the system, chose 'mykernel' option and the screen went black and the computer hung. Well, I said, I made a mistake when compiling the system - so I cold-resetted teh system, chose the old 'linux' item and surprise! I could see the new ReiserFS modul loading (reiserfs 3.x.0k-pre10), the new modules (/lib/modules/2.4.16-4GB/kernel) and finally, the boot prompt greeted me with "Welcome to SuSE Linux 7.3 (i386) - Kernel 2.4.16-4GB (tty1)" So I wonder - what kernel did it choose? I checked lilo.conf once again and the 'linux' option loads the old kernel... beside that, under KDE, the sound doesn't work in some applications (Soldier of Fortune, for instance), and when I try to connect to the Internet, the message I get is that the pppd daemon could not be started. Any hints, please? All the best, Razvan

might want to put your step 3 here, copy bzImage from /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot to /boot and rename vmlinuz-2.4.13 copy System.map from /usr/src/linux to /boot and rename System.map-2.4.16 mk_initrd -k "vmlinuz-2.4.17" -i "initrd-2.4.17" -s auto (the -s auto switch are new to 7.3 I believe) Edit Lilo to point "mykernel" at vmlinuz-2.4.17 run lilo

You probably need to re-compile "alsa" the install directions are pretty clear, read them all the way through the ./configure section so you can set the appropriate options.
and when I try to connect to the Internet, the message I get is that the pppd daemon could not be started.
don't know good luck dh

A suggestion here to avoid the copies when using SuSE source do make bzlilo,
not bzImage. This will move everything for you and then you just need
mk_intitrd, then lilo
