Adding custom kernel to Knoppix; no lilo menu
Hi
I am adding a custom kernel to the hard drive install of Knoppix 3.2. I have compiled the kernel, modified the lilo.conf file and ran /sbin/lilo without any errors but at boot time I do not see a lilo menu showing up but instead the system still boots the stock kernel.
Am I missing anything here?

Let's see your lilo.conf. Is your new kernel in /boot? What's it called? Did you set a delay in LILO so that you have a moment to choose which kernel you wish to boot?
What was the ouput of /sbin/lilo?
It is possible to have several kernels to choose from (I do it all the time).

I, quite stupidly, left my linux hard drive at home therefore will be able to reply more intelligently either tonight or tomorrow.
Thank you for your help.

The new kernel is in /boot by the name bzImage.custom. In lilo.conf the delay is set at 50 (5 seconds).
Here is the output of lilo:
Added Linux *
Skipping /vmlinuz.old
Added Custom
which looks like a clean output.
I have had upto 5 custom kernel in other distributions in the lilo.conf succuessfully so this is not something new I am trying.
Today, I accidently hit the Shift key when the system was booting up. It was displaying "LILO 22.5.4" basically just waiting for the 5 seconds to expire... and voilla heres the lilo menu. I tried this a second time and it worked again.
Any more thoughts?
