ok i use lilo.
here is the lilo.conf
prompt
timeout=50
default=linux
boot=/dev/hda5
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message
lba32
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-14
label=linux.old
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-14.img
read-only
append="hdd=ide-scsi root=LABEL=/ speakup_synth=dectlk"
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-24.8.0
label=linux
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-24.8.0.img
read-only
append="hdd=ide-scsi root=LABEL=/ speakup_synth=dectlk"
the second image is the newer updated kernal.
here is the output from lilo

but at the end, a dirty buffer error appeared, but i think this would have gone to
standard error because it did not come out in the file when i redirected lilo to the
file with > maybe i have done the wrong thing here...
rpm -q kernel gives
kernal-2.4.18-14
kernal-2.4.18-24.8.0
and sorry, i forgot to get the output of 'ls /boot/{vmlinuz*,initrd*}'
anyway can you tell me an easy way to dump the contents of a console to a file...?
