[lug] bzImage into lilo. (fwd)

[John Starkey]

Ooops. I stated the wrong file name this post. I was referring to the
initrd file I mention in my last post, sorry. A corrupt kernel... not
booting.. who ever heard of that :} . Whoa, long day.

What about the other files that are in there. I have
/boot/vmlinuz-2.1.12-20 in there that I had to copy off a boot disk to get
a reboot. It locked up without this. Somehow I had corrupted it.

Thanks,

John
