Kernel did not update after up2date

I had the same problems as above, made the same steps to correct but on running lilo I get


root@lucy [~]# lilo
Added linux.too
Fatal: Kernel doesn't support initial RAM disks

Any ideas?

To apply the new kernel, after you have made the necesarry modifications etc you should have typed;

lilo -v -v

not

lilo, which does nothing.

New Kernel Won't Boot...

I have successfully updated the kernel with up2date on one of our RH 7.3 servers that uses lilo as the boot loader, no problems.

But on another one of our RH 7.2 machines I go thru the up2date process and I just can't get the new kernel to boot. I think it's using grub, but I'm honestly not sure. I have no anaconda-ks.cfg file like our other newer servers do. I have updated the lilo.conf file and the grub.conf file just to make sure, but still nothing...

After much research I have found that my /proc/cmdline file looks like this:

initrd=initrd.img root=/dev/sda1 BOOT_IMAGE=vmlinuz auto


I think that is the problem, as our 7.3 machine which I upgraded with no problems looks like this:

auto BOOT_IMAGE=linuxnew ro root=307 BOOT_FILE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-19.7

But again, the 7.3 machine uses lilo for sure! So I'm not sure exactly if that cmdline file is the problem, and if it is I'm not sure exactly what to change in to make it work.

Can anyone point me in the right direction as to know for sure what boot loader is being used on this 7.2 machine? Remember, I don't have an anaconda-ks.cfg file to check as I have read in every other post. And can anyone tell me for sure what I would change the cmdline file to if that is indeed the problem?

Any help would be appreciated!

I started that thread, but then had to change NOC's and servers, so I never tried his suggestion. But that might have been it...
