New kernel installed, but it's still the old one displayed

[IT04-Chris]

Hi all,
I have installed the new kernel-2.6.15-gentoo-r1 and make && make_modules. Then i copied the bzInage and the System.map to the /boot directory and changed the line in lilo.conf which links to the bzImage.

But when i reboot i still get displayed that kernel-2.6.12-r10 is loaded.

What have i done wrong?

Thanks
Chris

Have you rerun lilo? Grub is way better by the way.

shit,
that's probably my fault. I forgot to run lilo again.

Now it's working.
Thanks for the hint.

Can i now delete the old kernel sources?

Sure if you don't want to keep it as backup.
I still recommend grub though. You can have to entries in the grub menu, one to the new kernel and one to the old. make install will softlink to both your new and your old kernel and grub won't have to be rerun. I used lilo first but I got sick of forgetting running it each time I recompiled my kernel.

Thanks.
I will try to get grub running later on.

I think you are right. Grub is the up-to-date bootloader. But i think lilo.conf is eaiser to configure.

I agree, I thought so too in the beginning. Here's my grub.conf if it helps you (if it doesn't just ignore it )
