I did it by apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.8 ...

Added an entry in lilo.conf with the new image,

ran lilo and rebooted.

apt-get should have handled this stuff for you; if it didn't, thatindicates to me that the apt-get process failed in some way. Are yousure you didn't see some errors you just ignored, thinking maybe theydidn't matter?

But i couldn't boot up.
I' using a knoppix instaled in the hd. Before it, I did upgrade anddistro-upgrade.

Unless you removed the old entries from lilo.conf, you should be able toboot off your old kernel.
