kernel installation problem?
On my laptop i already had some problems with lilo and grub not beeing able to install to the mbr, it always gives errors (corrupted lilo) but now my problems booting continue. With the standard kernel (2.6.4 Suse 9.1) kernel there are no problems but with the newer 2.6.9 kernel (needed for beter acpi support for my laptop) from kernel.org i have the same problem. I was able to boot the new kernel after some trying around and get lilo to work but i had to recompile te enable an other option and now i have the same problem again, i cant boot the new kernel and i don't know wath fixed it last time. I've tried both lilo and grub but none of them both seem to find the kernel. the installation of lilo and grub work ok but when booting, if i chose the new kernel i get loading 2.6.9 and it just sits there doing nothing. the same for grub.
my boot directory contains the following
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 672 2004-11-18 01:35 .
drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 488 2004-11-18 02:20 ..

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1507638 2004-11-18 00:15 vmlinuz-2.6.9
now my lilo.conf looks like this
menu-scheme = Wb:kw:Wb:Wb
default = Linux:2.6.9
timeout = 80
message = /boot/message
lba32
change-rules
reset
read-only
prompt
boot = /dev/hda1
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.4-52-default
label = Linux
initrd = /boot/initrd-2.6.4-52-default
root = /dev/hda1
append = "resume=/dev/hda2 splash=silent desktop"
vga = 0x317
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.4-52-default
label = Failsafe
initrd = /boot/initrd-2.6.4-52-default
root = /dev/hda1
append = "ide=nodma apm=off acpi=off vga=normal noresume nosmp noapic maxcpus=0 3"
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9
label = Linux:2.6.9
initrd = /boot/initrd-2.6.9
root = /dev/hda1
append = "resume=/dev/hda2"
vga = 0x317
as far as i know al that is realy needed is the vmlinuz and initrd and the rest will be handled by lilo or grub but it doesn't work. Am i missing anything? I'm assuming that it is not a lilo problem because it has the same problem in grub. What can i do to make my system boot the 2.6.9 kernel.
