kernel updating, is there something I'm missing?
I tried updating my kernel to 2.6 test 9 one knoppix 3.3 (11-03-2003) using the following steps
downloaded the 2.6 test 9 kernel from kernel.org
extracted it in /usr/src to it's own directory
created a simlink from /usr/src/linux -> /usr/src/linux-2.6.0-test9
(baked up the existing simlink pointing to linux-2.4.2 to linux.bak)
successfully ran make xconfig in /usr/src/linux-2.6.0-test9, and configed the options I wanted, saving the changes
compiled the kernel by issuing the following command in /usr/src/linux-2.6.0-test9
make-kpkg --revision=786:MyKernel2.6.0test9 kernel_image
this did make a file in /usr/src called kernel-image-2.6.0-test9_MyKernel2.6.0test9_i386.deb
I ran a dpkg -i on this file which seemed to work sucessfully as I got no errors and I did choose to add the boot block to my existing /etc/lilo conf.
I rebooted only to find the old kernel was still being used (as uname-r returned 2.4.22-xfs)
I decided to take a look at /etc/lilo.conf
as I had suspected it looked like this
default=Linux
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22-xfs
label=Linux
initrd=/boot/initrd.gz
read-only
I checked /boot to make sure there was a vmlinuz-2.6.0-test9 and sure enough there was.
so I edited /etc/lilo.conf to read as follows:
default=Linux
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.0-test9
label=Linux
initrd=/boot/initrd.gz
read-onl
rebooted my computer and both /var/log/dmesg and uname -r still say I'm using the 2.4.22-xfs kernel.
Is there something glaringly obvious that I'm missing here that I should have done?

Hi Hayabusa,
...
so I edited /etc/lilo.conf to read as follows:

Did you run /sbin/lilo after you edited lilo.conf?
Ciao Martin

worked like a charm. Now I can switch back and forth between kernels at my discretion, thanks.
now if i could get my scroll button on my mouse working and vmware working under the new kernel I'd stick with it
