RE: Installing an earlier kernel?

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.
