Dang just thought of this. Check the symlinks in /boot vs the requirments in your lilo.conf. I've noticed a number of times that when I install a new kernel from cooker it moves vmlinuz from pointing to the old vmlinuz-xxxxxx to the new one. Now since the default kernel (linux) is looking at lilo and booting vmlinuz initrd.img. You actually are booting the same kernel in both cases. I know this sounds convoluted as heck but if you look into /boot it will clear up as to what I mean. James
