I don't think you hosed up on anything, you just need to rename that vmlinux-2.4.19 to vmlinuz-2.4.19 as it is the bzImage (compressed kernel). vmlinux is the name for an uncompressed kernel. As for initrd, that is typically only necessary if you have a SCSI controller. If you don't most likely you can just remove that line from your lilo.conf. -Kenny On Tue, 2002-09-10 at 19:44, Aaron Clark wrote: > I'm having some slight issues with booting to my newly compiled 2.4.19 > kernel.

In the doc it says to copy over the bzImage as vmlinux-2.4.19, so I did.When I added the new entry into grub.conf I noticed that I didn't have a vmlinuz- and initrd- in /boot. These must be necessary as I can't boot to 2.4.19. > > What did I hose-up on? > > > Thanks, > Aaron > ----
