Sounds like you forgot to run mk_initrd and lilo before rebooting or the
required modules are missing from /lib/modules/2.4.7 or both.

I downloaded the 2.4.7 kernel got both k_deflt-2.4.7-16.i386.rpm an also k_i386-2.4.7-17.i386.rpm then let yast update the system for me then i ran lilo an all looked ok. rebooted an i get errors as following, loading module aix7xxx insmod aix7xxx no module by that name found.
loading reiserf ... insmod reiserfs no module by that name found
kmod failed to excute /sbin/modprobe - s -k block-major-8, erno = 2 can not open root device "805 or 08:05" please append a correct "root=" boot option kernel panic: VFS unable to mount root fs on 08:05
what did i forget to do. thanks for any help. I have upgraded kernels in the past an had no trouble but that was on ide systems.
