Re: whats the diff. between vmlinuz and vmlinuz-sata-2.4.39?

Hi Alex,
sometimes, the developers of your fave distro would just symlink vmlinuz to
the default kernel. To see if this is the case, do
bash$ ls -l /boot
and check if vmlinuz is a symlink (and see to what file it is pointing to).

I don't think they have different xorg.conf, (because you only have one
under /etc). What they might have different are the modules (if they are
really different files after all).

If vmlinuz doesn't work for you (maybe because it isn't there in the first
place; or the file it is pointing to) and sata-2.4.29 does, then you can
just make your symlink by
bash# cd /boot
bash# ln -sf vmlinuz-sata-2.4.39 vmlinuz
bash# lilo -v
and you're all set.
