RE: 2.4.18 SMP Kernel - Running but have a question

nate,

Thanks for the reply.  That's whats odd.  (Remember I'm a total newbie here)
I pulled the kernel building HOWTO off of the Debian site but most of the
references were to RedHat so I'm a little confused.  I tried to use
make-kpkg but it kept failing so I did just like the HOWTO says:

make clean
make xconfig
make dep
make
make bzImage
make modules - There weren't any
make install - This is where it ran LILO for me???

What did I screw up??  The really weird thing is that it appears that the
kernel image name that it built is just called Linux???

Thanks again!

the kernels ideally should reside in /boot, but theres no law that says
it has to. if you built the kernel the 'debian way' with kernel-package
and installed the resulting kernel-image-*.deb then it will take care
of most of this.

if you compiled from source without kernel-package then you should put
the kernel in /boot and update lilo.conf(if needed, and re-run lilo)
