First off, if this is off list topic and this list is strictly for bugs in
the grub code, I'd like to apologize in advance. I've had some trouble
finding a solution by the standard means of scouring www resources, reading
man & info pages and looking at usenet resources. If there is a more
appropriate place for me to ask these questions, please let me know and I
will inquire there. Without further ado:

I'm having some problems getting a kernel I've compiled to work with
grub. I've only used lilo in the past and was psyched at how amazingly
easy grub seemed in comparison. I yanked the existing configuration:

title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-18.7.xsmp)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-18.7.xsmp ro root=/dev/cciss/c0d0p3
        initrd /initrd-2.4.18-18.7.xsmp.img

and added the above with the following changes:

title DEBUGGING KERNEL (2.4.18-18.7.x.debug)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinux-2.4.18-18.7.x.debug ro root=/dev/cciss/c0d0p3
        initrd /initrd-2.4.18-18.7.x.debug.img


Here is the output of `ls /boot/vm*`

[root@da2 grub]# ls /boot/vm*
/boot/vmlinux-2.4.18-18.7.x
/boot/vmlinux-2.4.18-18.7.x.debug
/boot/vmlinux-2.4.18-18.7.xsmp
/boot/vmlinuz
/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-18.7.x
/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-18.7.xsmp

also:

[root@da2 grub]# ls /boot/initrd-*
/boot/initrd-2.4.18-18.7.x.debug.img
/boot/initrd-2.4.18-18.7.x.img
/boot/initrd-2.4.18-18.7.xsmp.img


My root fs is mounted at:
/dev/cciss/c0d0p3 / ext3 rw 0 0
/boot/ is at:
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1 /boot ext3 rw 0 0

What the heck am I missing?

Thanks,
Nick
