I have attempted to upgrade to kernel 2.2.17 after doing a :

cd /usr/src
gzip -cd linux-2.2.17.tar.gz | tar xfv -

make xconfig (completed & saved)

make bzImage

cp bzImage/boot

When I do a ls -F in /boot I only see listed a linux-2.2.12 my orginal kernel how am I supposed to edit the lilo.conf to point to my new /boot/linux-2.2.17 when its not in /boot directory?
My commands ran perfectly without any errors. Or doesn't the new kernel version show in this dir, do you just do a reboot?

Pleas help.

Try to use "Make bzlilo" to it will move the new kernel and system.map to / and add a line to lilo...

did that thanks ran with no errors, however in /boot I still can't see kernel version am I looking for linux-2.2.17, but its still showing -2.2.12 two entries under boot? I'm I doing this right?

Edit /etc/lilo.conf and change the name of the part that points to /vmlinuz
should do it.

I attempted to do that but it wouldn't run as it cannot find linux-2.2.17 in boot dir after editing lilo.conf? Maybe my kernel upgrade didn't work after all?

Any other suggestions? Thanks
