Yes, I did re-run lilo. The display showed that it added the smp kernel I want to boot. Has anyone ever had problems booting from disk when / is on a SCSI drive? I think this machine has pretty decent hardware (ASUS motherboard, on-board AIC-7xxx, IBM SCSI hard drive). This is the only Linux machine of about ten we have here with a SCSI /, and this is the only machine which gives problems booting newly compiled kernels. All the other machines have / on an IDE drive. Thanks,
