Any reason why when I compile and install the 2.6.7 kernel that when I boot it wants to load the modules from my previous 2.4.24 modules directory??

It would appear that now matter how I setup lilo and how I configure my box to boot, it always wants to boot the 2.4.24 kernel and not my brand new shiny 2.6.7

in / i have vmlinuz-2.6.7 as a soft link to /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.7 which is my new kernel image.
I setup lilo and yes re-ran lilo, which picked up my new config with complaining.

Hoever when I choose my new kernel from the lilo selection screen, it always boots the 2.4.24 kernel...

Any ideas would be great!!

What's it complaining about? Are you sure your 2.6.7 modules got installed... (I can't remember if 'make' does it, or if you still have to do 'make modules_install')

I had forgotten that the "debian way" handles the lilo stuff for you. I got that worked out now, I was overwriting my lilo with wrong info...
