Hi, Stefano!
another italian, I suppose? Well, this is my experience: just compile
the new kernel, then copy the directory /boot in another, i.e. /boot2. After
this, overwrite the /boot2/vmlinuz file with the compiled one (you can find
it in <your kernel dir>/arch/i386/boot, it is the file zImage: write
cp <your kernel dir>/arch/i386/boot/zImage /boot2/vmlinuz
after this, copy the file <your kernel dir>/System.map in /boot2:
cp <your kernel dir>/System.map /boot2/
of course, I suppose you have already give make modules and make
modules_install. Now, edit the file /etc/lilo.config, and copy the
uncommented lines that refers to your actual kernel boot, adapting them. For
example, I had:
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/hda2
label = lin
and so I added the lines:
image = /boot2/vmlinuz
root = /dev/hda2
label = linnew
finally, save it and call lilo (as a command). Now, when you start the
machine, writing linnew you'll boot the new kernel, while writing lin the
old
one. Satisfied :)?
