When I do the ln -s /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.9 /boot/vmlinuz will I still be able
to use my old kernel If I am not able to boot to the new one. Like have
Lilo look like this
image=/boot/vmlinuz
Label= Linux2.0.36
etc..
The only vmlinuz I can find on the system in the /boot directory is the
vmlinuz one. Not at home know so don't remember if it is vmlinuz or
vmlinuz-2.0.36 either way there is only one with the word vmlinuz in it. If
I do the ln -s will that kill the old one or is there a way to make it be
able to boot the old one if I where to type Linux2.0.36 at the Lilo prompt?
Also what about the system.map file with the compiling take care of that
for me??
Thanks,
