[lug] bzImage into lilo.

[John Starkey]

Great thanks. It worked.

But there are several files in /boot that it's looking at and telling me
they are the wrong versions during boot. These have the red hat x.x.x-x
(ie, initrd-2.2.12-20.img) version numbers.

Are these standard kernel files or just something RedHat uses?? 

Thanks,

John
