Check the date of your /boot/vmlinuz file (or the file that vmlinuz links to). Make
sure that you have make install and make modules_install. One more minor thing that
may be the reason. The default /etc/lilo.conf from RedHat 5.0 distribution always
uses /boot/vmlinuz-2.0.32 as the boot kernel. Therefore, if you are using latest
2.0.33 kernel or you install the kernel to /boot/vmlinuz (not a symbolic link), lilo
will never try to boot on your new kernel. You have to fix /etc/lilo.conf by
replacing:
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.32
to
image=/boot/vmlinuz
Hope this can help!
