NOTE: You may need to tell Linux how much physical memory you have. Under some conditions,
the OS will not correctly configure the kernel's memory map to match the physical RAM available.
This can be done by adding a parameter to /etc/lilo.conf:
append="max_scsi_luns=8 mem=256M"
An example of the contents of /etc/lilo.conf follows:
boot=/dev/sda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
linear
default=linux2.2.16-3HP
append="max_scsi_luns=8 mem=256M"
#image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14-5.0smp
#
label=linux.old
#
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.14-5.0smp.img
#
read-only
#
root=/dev/sda7
#
#image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14-5.0
#
label=linux-up
#
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.14-5.0.img
#
read-only
#
root=/dev/sda7
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-3
label=linux2.2.16-3
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.16-3.img
read-only
root=/dev/sda7
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-3HP
label=linux2.2.16-3HP
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.16-3HP.img
read-only
root=/dev/sda7
9. In any case, remember to run lilo to install the boot loader for the new kernel! And be sure to have
a back up floppy boot disk before re-booting into the new kernel.
lilo -v
10. Reboot into the new kernel.
