[OLUG] kernel upgrade

[Adam Lassek]

In the linux directory, there is a vmlinux file, that's the kernel, right? I
copied that to /boot and edited lilo.conf accordingly. Still booting to the
old kernel. I tried this with the bzImage file in linux/arch/i386/boot as
well. Are there other system files I need to overwrite as well?
