I neither use lilo nor grub. I use freedos 1.0 and loadlin with a directory that holds the kernel and initrd files: loadlin.exe 2_6_27.gz initrd=initrd.gz root=/dev/sda6 and the above command fails with a kernel panic and a warning that my method of indicating where the root is is deprecated. I suspect the kernel should work with Slackware 10.1. I grabbed an unzipped copy of /proc/config.gz from the old 2.6.10 kernel and fed that into the 2.6.27.39 xconfig script. In essence, I should have built the same kernel with the same modules and any new dependencies should have been satisfied. Do I label the root partition as ROOT and set root=LABEL=ROOT or something similar? _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
