Booting my new compiled system: What am I doing wrong??

Hello,
- I went recompiling my kernel a first time and everythin seemed ok( I have
actually kernel
2.0.30 and I just recompiled my different kernels from /usr/src/linux-2.0.30)
The second kernel I ve recompiled went great through make config, make dep,
make clean, them make zlilo, then make zImage (still from
/usr/src/linux-2.0.30)
Here what I did as expected:
- cp /usr/src/linux-2.0.30/arch/i386/boot/zImage_of_second_recompiled
kernel /boot/vmlinuz_of_second_recompiled kernel..
I also did ln -sf /boot/vmlinuz_of_second_recompiled kernel /boot/vmlinuz
then I added a stanza in /etc/lilo.conf:
boot=/dev/fd0
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux
root=/dev/hda2
read-only
other=/dev/hda1
label=dos
table=/dev/hda
image=/boot/vmlinuz_of_first_recompiled kernel
label=linux1
root=/dev/hda2
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz_of_second_recompiled kernel
label=linux2
root=/dev/hda2
read-only
Then I ran lilo and it successfuly said that my 2 other kernels were added!
But...when rebooting with my bootin floppy ( cause I also did a make zdisk
to have zImage on floppy..and my system is anyway configured to
boot from floppy)..which normally loaded successfully my 2 others compiled
kernel... I do have error: "NO SET UP SIGNATURE" or " L-" and it s stuck
there!
I m a bit depressed cause both 2 precedent compile kernels went ok..is lilo
suddenly gettin enough of too much stanzas?? Is vmlinuz punishing me because
of all these symlinks I m imposing to him??
Thanks for makin that clear for me...
