Hello all Am I being dumb or is there an easy solution for this. I downloaded 2.2.14 and gunziped it into /usr/src/linux (after renaming the previous /linux folder). Ran make dep make bzImage make modules make modules_install make bzlilo Now when I boot into linux I still get the message jsut befor the login prompt about running Suse 6,2 on a i386, and using kernel 2.2.10. How can I ensure that I'm actually using 2.2.14.

these are the steps i followed t compile my 2.2.14 0. untarred source etc 1. make mrproper (very very optional) 2. make menuconfig (or xconfig or config) 3. make dep clean bzImage modules modules_install (ie do it all in one go) I prefer to do the actual installation of lilo manually rather than use bzlilo to do this cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14 then edit /etc/lilo.conf to look somehting like image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14 root = root device, perhaps sda1, or hda1 or hdb1 or something label = name bzlilo assumes things about your lilo.cnf. details can be found in /usr/src/linux/Doc..press tab -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

I think that /usr/src/linux is a link pointing to the desired kernel - if you reassign the link to the new kernel and recomplie then this should crack it Pete Mark Annandale wrote:

uname -a OTOH I don't know how bzlilo handles things. Personally I'd rather do it by hand. Do this check / and see if vmlinuz is there. If so thats your problem.

Did you edit the top-level Makefile to ensure that bzlilo install your new kernel in /boot ? By default it does not :-( Sean Mark Annandale wrote:

Look in /. You will see a /System.map and /vmlinuz. Move /boot/System.map to /boot/System.map.old and /boot/vmlinuz to /boot/vmlinuz.old. Now move /System.map to /boot/System.map and /vmlinuz to /boot/vmlinuz. In yast go to the lilo setup and delete the configuration you have. Now add a new label called new using /boot/vmlinuz has the kernel. Now add the label old using /boot/vmlinuz.old as the kernel. Exit yast then reboot. At the boot prompt press the tab key and you will see old and new. New is the default. If you press the enter key it will boot. If you have problems with your new kernel you can reboot and type old at the boot to boot using the old know working kernel. Thank you Russell
