I don't know why the labels wouldn't change. Have your pointed
lilo.conf to your new kernel as well? Why don't you post your
lilo.conf so we can take a look.
Yeah, I used the debian kernel-package to change my lilo.conf, but I checked it manually, and it seems pointed correctly.
Here's my lilo.conf, minus comments:
boot=/dev/hda5
root=/dev/hda5
compact
install=/boot/boot.b
delay=20
map=/boot/map
vga=ask
image=/vmlinuz
label=linux
read-only
other=/dev/hda1
label=h
#end of file.
Now, hda1 is my old windows partition (with the windows directory deleted, I have my poetry and illegally copied music there).
/vmlinuz is a symlink to /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17 .
As I said in the original message (for new viewers<g>), even though I've run /sbin/lilo, I'm still presented with the old labels (and old kernel) at boot. I'm thinking it might have something to with the deb mbr-program.
