Re: Dual boot, multiple kernels, sytem map problem (was Re: Switching between two file systems.)
I have a desktop at home that has RedHat 7.0 installed & RedHat 6.0 transferred (from another HD). After specifying the location of the other kernel image as image=/chopin/boot/vmlinuz I have no problem switching between rh6 and rh7, with no error messages. I thought I should be able to get around this problem using the same logic on this laptop HD, but I have been out of luck so far. Why is it still complaining about a wrong System.map?

If so, I'm not sure I can answer your question -- you're using different kernels for each system. I'm not aware of a way to specify per-stanza boot maps, but then, I haven't really tried.
