Well, I have been using loadlin since I started with linux and it has
worked fine for me except whenever the kernel was not appropiately
compiled. I use lilo on my notebook only.
I use different names for the different compiled kernels I use and it
does not makes different to loadlin.
I use MS-DOS bat files to boot my different linux:
For example following is my bat file to boot my Red Hat 4.2 linux.
---------------[RH42.BAT]------------------------------------
c:
cd \
cd linux
loadlin rh422032.001 mem=128M root=/dev/hda10 ro
-------------------[snip]-----------------------------------
I have loadlin and all my kernel images in my c:\linux\ directory.
I see that the "ro" option at the end of loadlind is missing in
your command line; I do not know but maybe it can affect it.
If it does not work I will suggest to compile a new kernel with the
appropiate options.
I hope this can help you.
