Re: [SLE] HOW BOOT NEW KERNEL?

you are not being specific enough. 1. if you are using a regular bootdisk from suse to boot the machine and then tell it to boot from a partition where your kernel resides it will NEVER boot 2.4.2. I have mentioned this flaw to suse before that if you have a partition installed with 2.2 and 2.4 kernel and use the suse CD or bootdisk to boot this partition it will always default to 2.2 kernel. I told them to fix this but I doubt they got an interest. they jsut wait out their time til 2.2 gets abandoned. 2. you created your own floppy with LILO on it. just add the kernel using yast to your lilo configuration and boot it via LILO. why aren't you using the MBR for booting via LILO anyway. much simpler. I wish SuSE abandons 2.2 kernel with next release so we don't have the problem as described in my point 1 above anymore. mk

I have successfully downloaded (and installed) from the Suse ftp site the 2.4.2 kernel and the accompanying modutils. However, I have no idea how to make it the active kernel when I boot from my floppy.

Any thoughts?
