LILO
The new kernel is built and is in /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage, time to move it into the /boot directory.
root@localhost # mv arch/i386/boot/bzImage /bootSince we are already in the /usr/src/linux directory, we only need to use the relative path, not the entire path to the image. It's never recommended to replace a current version kernel, before testing. To do this run it first as linux.new and make sure there are no errors. So now it needs to be added to the /etc/lilo.conf.
Edit the file to look similar to this.
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=250
image=/boot/bzImage
label=linux.new
root=/dev/hda1
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20
label=linux
root=/dev/hda1
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.20.img
read-onlyThen run lilo to include the new kernel. If it is successful something similar to this should appear on the screen.
root@localhost # lilo
Added linux.new *
Added linuxNow reboot the system, and choose linux.new to test the new kernel.
