compiling kernel for an old machine with a new one

[vittorio]

what can i do to compile a kernel on a computer for an older one?

this is the scenario:

i have a pIII with red hat 9 and a pentium-s 133 with "Tiny distro with
kernel 2.2.6"


this was my first try:

compile the kernel 2.2.25 with EXTRAVERSION=-posy (on PIII)

copy the bzImage in the /boot (from PIII to P133)
copy the modules in /lib/2.2.25-posy (from PIII to P133)

update lilo.conf (on P133)
----------
when i reboot with the new kernel on P133 and run umode -r the command say
that there is a kernel version 2.2.6
why?


excuse my bad english!

You didn't run /sbin/lilo after updating lilo.conf.
