I'm thinking of switching from grub to lilo since i cannot boot a newly compliled kernel with grub (error 13: invalid or unsupported executable format ....i get this after using make bzImage).
Any suggestions on a pain-free way of doing so?

Thanks!

Just run "lilo" as root (as long as lilo is installed) and it will overwrite GRUB.

Then, you can edit your /etc/lilo.conf, and afterward, be sure to re-run "lilo".

Better yet, can somone tell me what the lilo equivalent to the following menu.1st file is?
