Hallo


So, I took the plunge and installed '2.4.18.img' and ran lilo afterwards.

Lilo
gave an error on the stanza I added to lilo as per the debian installer instructions: I think it was the 'initrd=/initrd.img' line. I obviously added

it
to the wrong place.


You should always keep the old kernel in Your bootmenu to prevent such things, this is, what the construct with /vmlinuz and /vmlinuz.old is for. Nevertheless, You could boot the woody installation disk, select "execute a shell" from the menu and then mount /dev/hda1 /mnt # assuming this is, where Your root partition is
cd /mnt
chroot /mnt
So You should get back to Your old system environment and be able to rerun lilo with Your old kernel in the boot menu.
