Re: Okay, one more step to installing a new Kernel

Thanks for your help.

Here's the result:

LILO version 22.2, Copyright (C) 1992-1998 Werner Almesberger
Development beyond version 21 Copyright (C) 1999-2001 John Coffman
Released 05-Feb-2002 and compiled at 20:57:26 on Apr 13 2002.
MAX_IMAGES = 27

Reading boot sector from /dev/hda
Merging with /boot/boot-menu.b
Boot image: /vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz-2.2.20-idepci
Mapping RAM disk /initrd.img
Fatal: open /initrd.img: No such file or directory


(So, I reversed back, knowing that I need initrd.img at / before I can  
proceed)

Now I know there's /dev/initrd but I don't think that's whats wanted.
