Hi folks,

I'm trying to trim down a workable image to fit on a DOM. So, I created
a small partition on my development drive to create the image. But when
I use this new partition for / the kernel panics complaining that it
can't find init, which I have verified is in /sbin. Below is lilo.conf.

# start of lilo.conf

disk=/dev/hda
   bios=0x80
   sectors=63
   heads=128
   cylinders=787
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
# this fails
image=/boot/bzImage.i586.slim
   label=embedded
   root=/dev/hda4
   vga=791
   read-only

# this works
image=/boot/bzImage.i586.slim
   label=linuxsvga
   root=/dev/hda1
   vga=791
   read-only

# end of lilo.conf

Shouldn't I be able to simply specify a new root filesystem either when
booting or in lilo.conf. Are there other restrictions? (I did run lilo
after updating).

Thanks, Kyle.
