I don't think it's a LILO problem, I can boot to any other kernel on my system
including an i686 kernel I compiled on this machine. I edit lilo.conf then
run /sbin/lilo after installing each new kernel and make sure I am not
getting any errors... All kernels have been compiled on the machine I'm
attempting to run them on, with no system changes occurring between compile
time and run time.
What else could I be missing in LILO that would cause me to reboot after
selecting the various Athlon kernels I've compiled?

Thanks,
Nate
