Get a 2.6.3 prompt from lilo when rebooting. 

Select it and only get this output 

load linux 2.6.3
bios update successful 

Then it goes to a blank screen, the hard drive spins
and then stops.

Reboot again and select 2.4 kernel, it goes thru
bootup stage and outputs 

fsck faild 
please repair manually & reboot 
please note that the root file system is currently
mounted read-only.  To mount it read-write 

#mount -n -o remount,rw /  

or you can ctrl-d to reboot 

Reboot with 2.4 and back in business. 

Can I step back thru these commands again with 2.6?

make mrproper 
make config or make xconfig 
make dep 
make clean 
make bzImage 
make modules 
make modules_install
