[Gllug] New kernel compile probs

[Paul Sheer]

did you remember to re-run lilo?
also check your lilo.conf file

remember that if the size of the kernel
image changed at all, or the new kernel
image did not copy over the eact same
sectors as the previous, then lilo's
sector map won't match, hence the
break in the middle of the kernel load.
