I'm using a Gentoo, I tried to upgrade my kernel, I downloaded two files provided by the company that provides my dedicated server, bzImage-2.6.24.5-xxxx-std-ipv6-32 and System.map-2.6.24.5-xxxx-std-ipv6-32 to the boot directory. Assume these are the right files for my equipment but if you can't find any problems below, I may have to check that again.
I made a symbolic link in /boot for System.map-2.6.24.5-xxxx-std-ipv6-32 called System.map
My system uses LILO, I edited /etc/lilo.conf to this:
Quote:
prompt
timeout=50
default=linux
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/System.map
install=/boot/boot.b
lba32
append=""
#serial=0,9600n8
image=/boot/bzImage-2.6.24.5-xxxx-std-ipv6-32
label=linux
read-only
root=/dev/hda1
image=/boot/bzImage-2.6.24.5-xxxx-grs-ipv4-32
label=linux-old
read-only
root=/dev/hda1

And then I rebooted, but when I run "uname -a" it tells me I'm still using my old kernel. Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong?
