IIRC it tells you exactly what to do there. You have to add a line initrd = /initrd.img to /etc/lilo.conf in the correct image-section (or similar, not sure where the initrd is to be put, since I had to create a kernel without initrd...) man lilo.conf should help Balu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

New Kernel for Server
I just updated the packages on my Potato-based server after the Woody-based packages became stable over the weekend. The upgrade reported a possible linking problem with the 2.2.17 kernel that the server is currently running. I am looking at upgrading to the 2.4.18 kernel but this tells me I have to set up 'initrd' in LILO. So far, I can't see anything clearly outlining the steps for creating the initrd image file to loaded. Can anyone point me to a simple explanation for doing this? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
