Here is the section of lilo we are concerned with: image=3D/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20 =09label=3Dlinux-2.4.20 =09root=3D/dev/hda5 =09append=3D"quiet devfs=3Dmount" =09vga=3D788 =09read-only and here is boot to show that it exists: [bmike1@localhost bmike1]$ cd /boot [bmike1@localhost boot]$ ls boot.0300 kernel.h@ System.map@ config@ kernel.h-2.4.19-16mdk System.map-2.4.19-16mdk config-2.4.19-16mdk map us.klt grub/ message@ vmlinuz@ initrd-2.4.19-16mdk.img message-graphic vmlinuz-2.4.19-16mdk initrd.img@ message-text vmlinuz-2.4.20 [bmike1@localhost boot]$ and here is the file that was created after the compilation process: [bmike1@localhost boot]$ ls bbootsect* bbootsect.s bsetup* bsetup.s compressed/ Makefile tool= s/ bbootsect.o bootsect.S bsetup.o bzImage install.sh setup.S vide= o.S [bmike1@localhost boot]$ (this boot directory is in i386 while the afore mentioned one is in /) Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong? --=20 :-)~Mike~(-:
