I finally found it - for some reason, /boot is NOT the true boot partition
here. I manually mounted /dev/hda5 as /mnt/boot, and there, finally, was
menu.lst.
Here is my drive layout (from fdisk):
==============
Disk /dev/hda: 240 heads, 63 sectors, 839 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 15120 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 2 20 143640 84 OS/2 hidden C: drive
/dev/hda2 21 839 6191640 85 Linux extended
/dev/hda5 21 22 15088+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda6 23 49 204088+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda7 50 839 5972368+ 83 Linux
==============
hda1 is the suspend partition on the laptop.
hda5 is mounted as /boot
hda7 is mounted as /
However, whilst I have a kernel and initrd.img for 2.2.17, I lonly have a
kernel for 2.4.3 - no initrd.img. Will it hurt to use the 2.2.17
initrd.img when I boot the 2.4.3 kernel?
