|This is from my lilo.conf, if you want to change the image, you edit the
|first line witht the appropiate information. Afterward, you'd need to
|run lilo. As far as running 2.2 and 2.4 on the same machine, it can be
|done. You'd just need to configure lilo.conf appropriatly.
|
|image=/boot/vmlinuz-smp
| label=linux
| root=/dev/hde1
| initrd=/boot/initrd-smp.img
| append="hdc=ide-scsi ide3=noautotune"
| vga=788
| read-only
I have already done this, I know how to setup lilo to boot different images.
What I need to know is how to configure lilo to boot different versions of the
kernel without the errors I have encountered.
TIA
Tom
