d4n1el,
I would guess you forgot to mount /boot before you did the copy.
What does show?
Pay close attention to the version and compile time.
You are probably running your old kernel.

When you compile your kernel it creates it under /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot and names it bzImage (All this is assuming you are using x86 and left the kernel compression default). You just need to copy it to your /boot (make sure it is mounted first).
Ex. cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-2.6.7 (or whatever you want to name it)
Then modify your lilo.conf and run /sbin/lilo to update the MBR.

| If you copied it and your lilo.conf is pointing to it, then you are using the new kernel. |

d4n1el,
Please post the output of the following commands - after you have mounted boot:-
| Code: | ls -al /boot
less /boot/grub/grub.conf |
I want to see all of your grub.conf file.
Its also possible that your last kernel build terminated with an error, so your new bzImage was not built. Check the date and time on the bzImage file.
If uname -a shows you are running your old kernel - thats what you are running.
