you a prompt (only for a couple seconds -- so be ready, or else it
will boot the old kernel). Type "myhairisonfire" (or whatever name
you chose) at the prompt and you will boot the new kernel. If
things go bad, you can return to the old kernel by rebooting.

Well, hopefully I haven't made any mistakes. Report back with any
question or problems! The nice thing about building a kernel for
the first time is that it is a win-win situation. Either
everything will work just fine, or you'll get to learn a lot about
how linux works!

Well, I just tried it. Everything compiles fine with the new
settings. Well, reboot does not work When I enter the name of my new
kernel "linux_new", I get the following message:
Please wait, loading kernel...
/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:6,/boot/vmlinux-2.6.17.7: No such file
or directory
I am also unable to reboot into my old kernel "linux".
Would it possible to recover my old installation or does it look like
I may have to re-partition and re-install?
TIA.
