Did you run lilo after installing the new kernel?
1) As root, from a console: #/sbin/telnit S
2) Full screen prompt: sh# mkinitrd initrd 2.4.3-19.img 2.4.3-19
3) Check that the *.img file is now in /boot, or move/copy it there
(it might be in /, instead of
in /boot).
4) Edit /etc/lilo.conf to show both entries with the 2.3.4.img
5) Do: #/sbin/lilo {*extremely* important, or else
you won't be able to reboot into
the system.
Now shutdown / reboot....
(YMMV, since this is _advice from a newbie_)
