I am really not sure if I post this problem to the right list, but here it is ... I've got RH 7.3 running on a i686 SMP machine. I downloaded and installed RedHat's kernel-smp-2.4.18-3 RPM, reconfigured lilo, rebooted, bingo. Now im having problems with the kernel-smp-2.4.18-27.7.x RPM. When trying to run lilo, I get the error message, that I pasted in the subject line Now, the error message is pretty obvious, but I still dont get why lilo (or anything else) wouls give me this error message, since this is a RPM that was build for my exact system architecture, and my exact OS.
