After rearranging anything with the kernel, you must run lilo again. Just
type "lilo" as root. This may not fix it, but it probably will. I
recommend "adding" the second kernel. Edit the /etc/lilo.conf file. It is
pretty straight forward and will allow you to specify multiple kernels. My
lilo.conf has:
image=/kernel-2.2.15
label="2.2.15"
read-only
image=/kernel-2.2.14
label="2.2.14"
read-only
image=/vmlinuz
label="2.2.13"
read-only
I renamed to /usr/src/v2.2.15/arch/i386/boot/bzImage to kernel-2.2.15 and
copied to /. I should move it to /boot, but it is harmless where it is.
/vmlinuz is still a link to the original kernel in the /boot directory.
Keep in mind the first option will load by default if no other option is
specified within the time period during boot.
This only takes a few minutes and works pretty well if you are too chicken
(like I am) to give up the old kernel.
