I think my kernel statement is correct. I have a /boot partition that is /dev/hda5, hence if I set the grub boot to this by 'root (hd0,4)' vmlinuz will appear in this directory. Correct?? Also /vmlinuz appears linked to /vmlinuz-2.4.2-2. Regards, Simon _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
