 +For example you can do these steps : 
 +  *  run the command ''/usr/share/mkinitrd/mkinitrd_command_generator.sh'' to create the initrd.gz if you forgot to re-create it after a kernel upgrade 
 +  *  edit the file ''/etc/lilo.conf'' to make changes to your lilo boot sequence, for instance selecting a different installed kernel 
 +  *  run the command''/sbin/lilo -v'' to apply the changes so that the modifications you made area applied upon the next boot 
 +If the system uses elilo instead of lilo you can : 
 +  * repair elilo consecutive to a kernel upgrade, often we forget to re-generate the initrd.gz file 
 +  * mount the efi partition to ''/mnt/boot/efi'' in addition to the root partition described in the [[how_to_chroot_from_media#volume_mounting|Volume Mounting]] section 
 +  *  run the command ''/usr/share/mkinitrd/mkinitrd_command_generator.sh -k 5.15.117'' to create the initrd.gz if you forgot to re-create it after a kernel upgrade 
 +      * use the kernel version applicable to your system 
 +  * run ''eliloconfig'' from the chroot location /
