I observe that some of the linux distribution, they have
/boot/vmlinuz. But what they actually do is they link /vmlinuz to
/boot/vmlinuz. Let says, I have /boot mount to the partiton < 1024
cylinders, but my / is mount to a partition from let say > 500, so there
is a possibility that they linux can't boot after I rebuild another
kernel in / (but I link to /boot which is less that 1024. eg 0-499).
Am I right?
