Help with Kernel install.

[Kirk Wood]

You can setup to boot with a new kernell without endangering your current
situation. If you copy the new bzImage to the /boot dir and add a new
entry to lilo.conf. Just copy the curent entry with a new label and new
image name. you will then have an option of shoosing the image to use when
you first boot.

It sounds to me like the kernel panic is not a problem with the kernell
itself, but rather that it is failing to find a usable root location for
the file system. Chances are that unless you have one large partition on
your drive the correct root partition is /dev/hda4 or /dev/hda5. You can
pick it out by running the mount command or df.
