[slackware-sparcdevel] linux woes

So ontop of trying to refresh my linux knowledge, I'm dealing with the
sparc64 port :) Fun, eh?

Today I managed to get a new kernel and modules compiled. The compiler
screamed all the way but it finished. I've also created a new
/etc/silo.conf and installed it. Unfortunatly I can't seem to get the
machine to boot the new kernel. Part of my confusion is not beign able
to find the old kernel at all. I have no idea where it was. I copied the
new kernel to /vmlinux.

Suggestions?

The point of all this was to get a kernel with the ethernet drivers
built in since I never actually got a /lib/modules dir during the
install. *sigh*

(David, I know this is beta software, don't worry...) :)
