    changing kernel boot default in lilo.conf?

    This is probably a simple fix, but I want to have linux 2.6.5 be the default booting kernel in lilo at startup. If I don't arrow down to linux 2.6.5 in my boot loader, it will default to 2.4. after 5 seconds.
    Here's the part of my lilo.conf which I think changes the boot order:

    __________________________________________________
    ...
    ...
    # append=""
    # Boot up Linux by default.
    #
    default="Linux"

    image=/boot/vmlinuz
    label="Linux"
    initrd=/boot/initrd.img
    append="ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=us apm=power-off nomce noscsi screen=1280x1024"
    read-only

    image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.26
    label="Linux(2.4)-1"
    initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.4.26
    append="ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=us apm=power-off nomce noscsi screen=1280x1024"
    read-only

    image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.5
    label="Linux(2.6)-2"
    initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.6.5
    append="ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=us apm=power-off nomce noscsi screen=1280x1024"
    read-only
    ______________________________________________
    I tried changing the line default="Linux"
    to default="Linux(2.6)-2"

    but that didn't help during boot. I would think that I need to change this line to the 'label' of the image I want, but it didn't work. Do I need to do additional changes in initrd?

    Also, once I've succesfully changed the boot order, I'd like to change the timeout to 2 seconds.

    Thanks for any help

    Let me know if the following is covered somewhere else, but...

    The 3.4 May 10th release does not recognize my Linksys WUSB V2.8 wireless device. Since it is hooked up to a desktop, and the system is upstairs, I'd like to avoid having to carry everything up and down to get Knoppix going.

    I installed to the HD using the recommended option, and got a nice Debian system. However, the source for the kernel is mislinked (everything points to the 2.4 stuff even though booting into 2.6), and so I am unable to compile the Atmel drivers from Berlios to enable the network card.

    Reading your step by step here, it would appear that if I DL'd a few tgz and deb files on a different machine and burn them to a CD that I might be able to get a kernel setup that would allow me to compile the Atmel drivers. Can I just DL the files that you are wget'ing in your article? Any particular place they need to be copied to? Anything else I need that you didn't since your connection was live?

    Thanks,
    Ewan Grantham

    Anyone know if this is easier/better in the 5/17 release?

    If not, would still love to get an answer to my "catch-22" situation.

    Thanks,
    Ewan
