[wellylug] Newbie question...

  Hi there

Another newbie question.

When I first installed RH 8.0 I didn't load either GRUB or LILO but 
chose to boot from floppy.

Now I have loaded LILO but I get two choices of kernel (lilo.conf looks 
like this)

boot=/dev/hda6
prompt
timeout=50
message=/boot/message
root=/dev/hda7

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-14
label="2.4.18-14"
root=/dev/hda7
read-only
initrd="/boot/initrd-2.4.18-14.img"

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-17.8.0
label="2.4.18-17.8.0"
root=/dev/hda7
read-only
initrd="/boot/initrd-2.4.18-17.8.0.img"

image=/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/b oot/bzImage
label="Linux_Compiled"
root=/dev/hda7
read-only
optional

The third one gets ignored when I do a /sbin/lilo

However, what is the 2.4.18-17.8.0 doing there?

The only thing I can think of was I did an 'up2date' before loading LILO 
and part of the up2date was something to do with a kernel...

Also, when I boot using the second one, kppp can't find the modem?? but 
when I use the first it doesn't appear to initialize my sym53c416 scsi card

Boy am I confused...
