• Edit '/etc/lilo.conf'

• Change image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.2-2 to image=/boot/vmlinuz

• that is ,remove the version number after vmlinuz

• Save the file ,and run /sbin/lilo -v

• Make sure no error messages appear. Here is what one sees when this is done on my machine:

LILO version 21.4.-4......

Added linux*....

Writing boot sector.

• Our new kernel is in /mnt/cdrom/linux/update/kernel/i686 directory

• we installed the kernel in following way:

• mount /mnt/cdrom

• cd  /mnt/cdrom/linux/update/kernel/i686

• rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.3-12.i686.rpm

• /sbin/lilo -v

• New kernel installed , run

• /sbin/reboot

• When your machine fully rebooted, check your new kernel version with

• uname -sr

      which should show:

      Linux 2.4.3-12

Your old kernel is still around .To remove it run:

• rpm -ev kernel-2.4.2-2  kernel-source-2.4.2-2  kernel-headers-2.4.2-2 kernel-doc-2.4.2-2

Now since old kernel is removed ,you should installed new ones.

• cd  /mnt/cdrom/linux/update/kernel/i686

• rpm -Uvh  kernel-source*  kernel-headers*   kernel-doc*
