Hi!
              I have a Suse linux 6.3 with Kernel SMP 2.2.13 installed on my
machine.It was actually working fine before but then to find out the exact
place of the kernel i made a change in the makefile.When i rebooted it,the
machine froze at saying "Calibrating APIC timer..."
   I'm able to boot it from a boot floppy from suse linux 6.3 but it is not
booting the machine from the hard drive.I don't know how i should make it
work from the hard drive also.
  Before my machine froze,the changes which i made are
   i looked at /etc/lilo.conf file,
  where the image=/boot/vmlinuz
   In the /usr/src/linux directory, in the MAKEFILE,i made the change for
the install path=/boot where it was initially (before the reboot)given as
/boot/vmlinuz.
  i did 'make install' and rebooted the machine,and that's when it froze.
  This is the stage at which i am in.I thought i will explain the situation
at which it stopped working.If you have any idea about this,can you suggest
me as to what i can do?
   How can i make a back up at least now before i make any more changes.

    I appreciate your help. Thank you,
                Santhi
