After rebooting the system, you should be presented with the
standard LILO: prompt. If not, you will need to use the
emergency boot floppy, and begin diagnosing what might have gone
wrong with the lilo -v operation.
If you got the LILO: prompt, you should now press the
Tab key on the keyboard, and be presented with the
various boot options LILO has to offer. On my system, I got the
following
LILO: <tab>
linux linux.old dos
which I then typed linux which booted the 2.0.36-1
kernel I installed. You will need to type your appropriate
choice, and you should get the normal boot script starting up.
If all has gone well, you should have a system with an
upgraded kernel. You should now make a new rescue image with
this kernel in the case of future emergencies. You should
follow the previous instructions, just changing the
arguments to mkbootdisk to cover the new version of
the kernel.
Login as root, and insert either a new floppy or your old rescue floppy disk (your preference... personally I use the same floppy for all my rescue images.)
# whoami
root
# mkbootdisk --device /dev/fd0 2.0.36-1
Insert a disk in /dev/fd0. Any information on the disk will be lost.
Press <Enter> to continue or ^C to abort:
Once it has finished writing to the floppy, you will now have a rescue floppy disk that can be used with the rescue.img on the 5.x and 6.0 cdrom's.
