I have the same exact problem after a fresh compile of
2.3.40 last night. I to have gone through the build process
many times. I cp'd bzImage to a 1.44 meg floppy and also
copied it to /boot/vmlinuz-2.3.40 . I edited /etc/lilo.conf
and added the following lines to it;
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.3.40
lable = linux-2340
root = /dev/hda3
(Some of these statements may be slightly off. I am 4 miles
away from my nearest Linux system. I duplicated the statement
headers from the original perameters) I just looked at the
/usr/src/linux/README file and found a note that the image
can be edited with the "rdev" command. I hope this is of some
help. Thank goodness for the floppy !
