Thanks for the reply.

I downloaded the latest kernel 2.6.11.11 and I followed the same step
with
make modules
and
make modules_install
then I did

mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2 (See http://trd-2.ora-code.com).6.11.2k5.img 2.6.11.2k5

the lilo.conf file is

-- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- -----
prompt
timeout=50
default=DOS
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message
lba32

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2 (See http://nuz-2.ora-code.com).6.11.2k5
label=2.6.11.2k5
initrd=/boot/initrd-2 (See http://trd-2.ora-code.com).6.11.2k5.img
read-only
append="root=LABEL=/"

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2 (See http://nuz-2.ora-code.com).4.20-8
label=linux
initrd=/boot/initrd-2 (See http://trd-2.ora-code.com).4.20-8.img
read-only
append="root=LABEL=/"

other=/dev/hda1
optional
label=DOS
-- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ------

now I did
lilo -v

after rebooting, I am getting the following error

mount: error 19 mounting ext3
pivotroot: pivot_root (/sysroot, /initrd) failed: 2
umount /initrd /proc failed :2
kernel panic - not syncing : no init found, try passing "init = option" to
kernel

what would be the error in this ?

Maybe you need to do
make modules
make modules_install
It looks like you don't have an initrd=... line in lilo.conf for your
previous kernel, but if you do, you should make one for this kernel.
