Anne, yes thats kinda what I'm talking about. 10.1 is already installed I'm just updating the kernel on it. Basiclly I want to have it simple to update kernels on both 10.0 and 10.1 (like it was before,as mentioned above). Right now what it looks like I'll have to do is update the kernel on the 10.1 side (after I restored the lilo.conf of course) then create an entry for my 10.0 side so I can boot to that after running lilo on the 10.1. I guess I can create /mnt/ entry on both sides then alternate lilo's each time I update kernels on either side. :-) Starting to get confusing. Anyways seemed simpler when the kernel would install without complaining about not finding the bootloader. At least in my circumstance. I know this is "Way out in left field" but since I'm not dependent on 10.1 yet I wonder if I should try to force the kernel install and see if it works. something to consider...maybe. Mike
