Building a Custom Kernel
213
If you use LILO for loading the kernel there are several steps necessary for
safe installation of the new kernel.
1. First copy the old kernel to /boot/vmlinuz.old
2. Next copy the new kernel to /boot/vmlinuz
3. Modify the link /vmlinuz to point to the new kernel
4. Modify lilo.conf to provide another tag
5. Run LILO
Simply copying the new kernel over the old, will not result in the desired effect.
Copying the old kernel to a separate location and copying the new kernel into
the old slot also doesn't quite get the desired result, even though this is the
correct first step.
Once the files have been moved, LILO still needs to be informed of the
changes. When lilo is run, it reads its configuration information from the
file /etc/lilo.conf, so, to inform LILO of the change in kernels it is necessary
to edit/create this file. If the file starts out like:
# /etc/lilo.conf     single Linux installation.
boot=/dev/hda1
root=/dev/hda1
compact
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
vga=normal
delay=20
image=/vmlinux
root=/dev/hda1
label=Linux
read only
