This explains my problem. However, when I tried to
carry out the upgrade, I ran into another problem. I
have no lilo.conf file, probably because I am loading
from a floppy. Using separate partitions for windows
and linux,I have had nothing but trouble with lilo
and, therefore, I load linux witha floppy. Is there a
way to upgrade the kernel therough lilo while
preventing lilo from becoming my boot loader?
