Hi Cindyb,
You downloaded Kernel 2.2.16-9, but did you tell your system this was the
kernel you wanted used?
1. Open /etc/lilo.conf with a text editor (ex: pico /etc/lilo.conf).
Change
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.15-4
to
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-9
2. Tell lilo to make the change by entering /sbin/lilo on the command line.
3. Reboot.
Everything should be fine. If not, send another e-mail.
