Ok. I did that once before but I'll do it again right after I send off this email (I've just done depmod -a - no error output - so all that remains is to reboot). > >Not touching initrd symlinks since we are being reinstalled (2.6.6-1) > >Not updating image symbolic links since we are being updated (2.6.6-1) > > Since I don't use initrd here, I can't tell you what (if anything) to do > about this.

Sorry that I didn't note that I was not giving all output for all kernels installed on this system. I don't even have an item in my boot menu for the 2.4.24 kernel, and plan on removing it soon (have been planning on it, but have procrastinated). cat /etc/lilo.conf vga=791 boot=/dev/hda root=/dev/hda1 install=/boot/boot.b map=/boot/map delay=20 default=Linux2-6 image=/vmlinuz.2-6 label=Linux2-6 initrd=/initrd.img.2-6 image=/vmlinuz.2-4 label=Linux2-4 initrd=/initrd.img.2-4 image=/vmlinuz.2-4-22 label=Linux2-4-22 initrd=/initrd.img.2-4-22 image=/vmlinuz.2-6-5 label=Linux2-6-5 initrd=/initrd.img.2-6-5 That's the entire file, btw. initrd.img.2-6 is a symlink to /boot/initrd.img-2.6.6-1-686; initrd.img.2-4 is a symlink to /boot/initrd.img-2.4.26-1-686; initrd.img.2-4-22 is a symlink to /boot/initrd.img-2.4.22-1-686; initrd.img.2-6-5 is a symlink to /boot/initrd.img-2.6.5-1-686. The various vmlinuz'es are similarly symlinked. It's horribly complex and error-inviting, I know. I do plan on deleting some of those kernels once I get things (should I say *if* I get things?) working as they should. My initial lilo.conf error - in case it's relevant - was pointing the new kernel (2.6.6) at the 2.6.5 initrd.img. I got a blank screen and system freeze on trying to boot under that setup. I booted the 2.6.5 kernel using its own lilo menu item after that and straightened out the error. Running lilo from the command prompt now does not generate any errors. Here I go for another reboot . . .
