Configuring lilo
I've just compiled my kernel, and I'm trying to get lilo to boot to it.
Currently, the end of my lilo.conf says this:
/vmlinuz should be my new kernel, and /boot/vmlinuz.old should be my old one.Code:image = /vmlinuz root = /dev/hda2 label = newslack read-only image /boot/vmlinuz.old root = /dev/hda2 label = oldslack read-only
However, upon boot, lilo does something really odd. It displays what it used to, before I made the lilo.conf changes!
I believe the end of the old lilo.conf looked like this:
I have no clue why lilo would display what the old lilo.conf said. I also have no clue how it's booting, because there is no /boot/vmlinuz anymore...Code:image = /boot/vmlinuz root = /dev/hda2 label = Linux read-only
I must be making a pretty stupid mistake, but I can't seem to figure out what it is.
Thanks in advance.
