:Then I reran lilo and then I restarted my computer and used new_linux as my

:Side note: When I first recompiled my kernel, after booting up on my new
:image, I got a whole bunch of errors when loading my modules saying
:something about "unresolved dependencies". It drove me up the wall until I
:found the solution. Here it is.....before running "make modules", move the
:directory in /lib/modules to an old version. For example, my linux version
:number is 2.2.12-20, so the directory in /lib/modules is 2.2.12-20, so I
:renamed it to 2.2.12-20.old and then ran make modules and make
:modules_install. After this, to check and see if you get any errors at
:bootup, you can type "depmod -a". This will tell you if you have any
:unresolved module dependencies.

Hey nice tip, I will have to try that when it is time to upgrade my
kernel, it does sound like it will make a few things more nicer.
