I'm still trying for the 4th night to get a recompiled Linux kernel running *sigh*

After compiling the kernel and installing modules I'm supposed to edit the lilo.conf file and then run it..
But when I've edited it and run it I get an error

"No images found."

My lilo file looks like this (just a rewrite of my original RH 7.1 lilo.conf file... it simply wont work..

boot=/dev/hda1
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
message=/boot/message
linear
default=linux

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.9
label =vmlinux-2.4.9
read-only
root=/dev/hda8
append="hdc=ide-scsi"


I've checked partitions with mount and the new kernel image is placed in the boot dir..
I've followed ALL steps in the kernel HOW-TO... and all I get is a kick in the teeth...

Any1?

I've never done a kernel compile before.

Did you make sure that the kernel was copied into the /boot directory?

I noticed in your lilo.conf file that you have a line that says ' default=linux '. But there is no image entry for it. Did you remove your old kernel image entry in lilo.conf? If you did , you shouldn't have. The old entry would let you boot into linux if your new one didn't work.

When you boot up, do you select ' vmlinux-2.4.9 ' or do you hit enter or wait? If you hit enter or wait, it will try to boot with the ' linux ' image, but there isn't one.

Well.. I had tried to remove that line earlier, but at the same time I must have had something else wrong..
Cause NOW it worked..
Thx alot!

You're welcome.
