Hi Kaloyan!

I think you shold look whether your new kernel is booting. The new vmlinuz
should be in /boot or if you made no changes in sourcetree/Makefile in /,
your root directory. If vmlinuz is in /boot you have to make shure that your
/etc/lilo.conf lokes like mine :

default=Linux

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.0
 label=Linux
 read-only

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.18
 label=old
 read-only

other=/dev/hda2
 label=dos

Then you can be shure that your new kernel will be used at boottime. Note
that the default label (default=Linux) will be loaded if you use the Enter
key or do nothing while LILO is comming! And don´t forget to type

# lilo

on console. With this, your new lilo configuration will be written into MBR.
