Re: [newbie] I need your immediate help!
I recently found out that when using lilo, you need to always update it, even if it is already pointing to the right kernel image. Run '/sbin/lilo -v' after every kernel install, upgrade or compile if you are using lilo. Even though it may already be pointing to the right words, it needs to update where on the boot sector that file is. -Paul RodrÃguez i always read a section in kernel upgrading that you have to update your lilo configuration so it will be pointing to the new kernel. you should also try to keep an entry of the old kernel so that if the new kernel stinks you can boot using the old. ciao! -- Programming, an artform that fights back. === Anuerin G.

I am using Mandrake 8.1 and I just downloaded the kernel-2.4.13-mdk.rpm and the latest iptables available in the speakeasy.rpmfind.net site. I tried to install the new kernel and iptables using the commands of: # rpm -ivh kernel-xxx.mdk.rpm and # rpm -Uvh iptables-xxx.mdk.rpm but I wasn't able to install those packages. It depends to one another. So I decided to open my kongueror browser and click the kernel first and automatically installed it using RPM Software Manager. And I was asked if I'll forcely install it and I clicked the YES button. And when it was successfully installed, I also clicked to install the iptables package. After I successfully installed the two packages, I reboot my system. And it all started my problem. I wasn't able to enter my Mandrake system. What shall I do? Please help me... Thanks in advance. kabayan, i think you missed a step. i have never done a kernel upgrade before (but i will in the near future) but i always read a section in kernel upgrading that you have to update your lilo configuration so it will be pointing to the new kernel. you should also try to keep an entry of the old kernel so that if the new kernel stinks you can boot using the old. ciao! -- Programming, an artform that fights back. === Anuerin G.
