Syslinux - Oct 2004 - FCR1: Syslinux boot disk after Kernel Update

Hi,

I'm running fedora core rel. 1 on a dual system, using syslinux on a 
floppy disk as boot manager to start fedora. However, after up2date, I 
can't start fedora with the new kernel, as syslinux probably points to 
the old one. Kernel installation was done automatically via rpm (up2date 
online), but it didn't change syslinux parameters.

What do I need to change in syslinux config in order to boot the new 
kernel version?

Thanks in advance
Pasquale

You need to copy the new kernel to your floppy disk.

Is this procedure documented on Syslinux website in this terms or is it 
rather "How do I create a bootable floppy"?
Moreover, since I boot always the old kernel (the new has been installed 
already as of rpm), how can I make sure I copy the new one to fd0 ?

Sorry, I've hit the button too fast.

Does the fact that I did a mistake mean I have to forget about an 
answer? :-/

BTW: There are other Linux related mailing-lists I am subsribed to. They 
use "reply-to", in order to avoid private messages when people - like
me
- hit the reply button too fast.
