* Maybe you didn't compile the 2.4.19 kernel check if you're compiling this one and not the 2.2

* Maybe you made a mistake in lilo.conf, check the process again

Subject: Compiling a new kernel

Hi everybody I hope that somenone can help me. I just followed precisely the instruction for compiling/installing a new kernel  (2.4.19). The previeous version was 2.2.

1. tar xvjf "the kernel source"
2. make menuconfig
3. make dep
4. make bzImage
5. make modules
6. make modules_install

then I copied the new image in the boot location of the old one /boot/bzImage.(I saved the old one). So I edit the lilo.conf and I specified where to load the new image. After rebooting (everything seemed to go fine) I launched the "kernelversion" command but the answer was 2.2!!! What happened??

I want to precise that I've been using for one month and that I'm a very new user!

 

Thanks in advance to everyone with a good solution

Emanuele
