Ummm, thanks for the hint. But thats not correct. I copy the bzImage file from the /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot directory onto a floppy in this manner. dd if=bzImage of=/dev/fd0 bs=1024 Then I boot from the floppy. The login prompt says "Welcome to Linux 2.1.110". Thanks Graham : : I know that RedHat puts the kernel in /boot, but make zlilo puts : it in /. Check lilo.conf to see what lernel you are running and make : sure it is your new one. : : >Aug 2 07:30:29 daveney pppd[210]: This system lacks kernel support for PPP. : > This could be because the PPP kernel module : > is not loaded, or because the kernel is not : > configured for PPP.
