The bf2.4 kernel does not use an initrd image unlike the other 2.4.18 kernel packages. So the poster does not need this. I too made the mistake of assuming there was an initrd file with bf2.4 recently.
Hmm., that's interesting.
The leading '/' on the vmlinuz kernel name was probably his problem.
OK, I edited the it to: kernel vmlinuz-2.4.18-bf2.4 root=/dev/hda4 ro which results in: Error 1: Filename must be either an absolute pathanme or blocklist On my system: bash$ ls -l /boot | grep 'vmlinuz' -rw-r--r-- root root <some other info> vmlinuz-2.4.18-bf2.4 I still can't solve this problem.

Yup, and going one step further, she/he could experiment and find the
best option by getting to the grub prompt and using the 'find' command
or otherwise interactively attempting to boot the system until it
worked ;-)
