Are you making sure to select "2.4.22" from the Lilo boot menu when your system boots up?

I already ran "lilo -v" before I did the reboot, and it still seems to be running the old version of the kernel. Is there anything else I can do?
Err, yeah, I guess we are running lilo now :) Anyway, you probably need to run "lilo -v" as root in order to re-write your boot record.

I think I'm using Lilo now because something or
other

was weird with grub when I switched over to my new hardware... but in either case, here are the

files.

I don't know what they're supposed to look like..

but

they both have 2.4.22 stuff in them, so... I

don't

know. If anyone knows what I need to do lemme

know

:-) Thanks :-)

The problem lies somewhere with your boot loader

not

booting the kernel you want it to. Could you tell us something about

it? Is

it grub or lilo? The contents of your /etc/lilo.conf or /boot/grub/grub.conf (or /boot/grub/menu.lst)?

Does that mean I didn't really update my

kernel?

(If

yes, I really need help.. *laugh*)

(I was trying to go from 2.4.20-8 to 2.4.22,

btw)
