Indeed, this is another option. But a new kernel is still neccessary
since the one in the ELF image (/boot/initrd-2.4.20-8smp.img) came
with neither ext3 nor IDE drivers.
Not so, according to his first email, the linux install (RH 9 I think)
booted fine from the local system prior to LinuxBIOS installation.
Obviously LinuxBIOS seems to be working, unless his problem is that the
IDE controller is not detected or interrupts are off (not right). Thus
the installed kernel should be able to boot again without modification
using FILO.
