I installed originally the 1.2 kernel, then I downloaded the upgrade-in-a-box, which is the 2+ kernel and decompressed it and unpacked it into it's own directory in / root.
Then I typed upgrade.sh to start it, the upgrade went fine, it runned fine, I picked my options from the menus, then it compiled fine and ended. Then I did the extra1 for the others like pppd and that too worked fine.
But when I type: uname -a , it still shows the old kernel after the upgrade, even after rebooting it.
I am no dummy, but also not an expert at linux, but hey I am learning and so far I like the challenge. It isn't easy at first but you learn as you go.
So, please help me in straight english what I should do to deactivate the old kernel and activate the new one ?
Also, I never installed LILO into the MBR the first time around, because I knew that I was gona be updating it, but had to install it from the cd-rom, the basics to begin, then I downloaded the new kernel. So the LILO was done on floppy the first time around, then when I did the upgrade, and compiled, I did the LILO into the MBR on the main HD.
Why is the Kernel still showing 1.2.x ?
Please help, thanks.
