I removed the initrd line from the DEBUGGING Kernel and now get the error: "invalid or unsupported executable format". I'm going to try compiling as a zImage as opposed to a bzImage and see if that makes any difference.
Let me know if anyone has any thoughts. Thanks! -----Original Message----- From: Nicholas P.

First off, if this is off list topic and this list is strictly for bugs in the grub code, I'd like to apologize in advance. I've had some trouble finding a solution by the standard means of scouring www resources, reading man & info pages and looking at usenet resources. If there is a more appropriate place for me to ask these questions, please let me know and I will inquire there. Without further ado: I'm having some problems getting a kernel I've compiled to work with grub. I've only used lilo in the past and was psyched at how amazingly easy grub seemed in comparison. I yanked the existing configuration: title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-18.7.xsmp) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-18.7.xsmp ro root=/dev/cciss/c0d0p3 initrd /initrd-2.4.18-18.7.xsmp.img and added the above with the following changes: title DEBUGGING KERNEL (2.4.18-18.7.x.debug) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinux-2.4.18-18.7.x.debug ro root=/dev/cciss/c0d0p3 initrd /initrd-2.4.18-18.7.x.debug.img Here is the output of `ls /boot/vm*` [root@da2 grub]# ls /boot/vm* /boot/vmlinux-2.4.18-18.7.x /boot/vmlinux-2.4.18-18.7.x.debug /boot/vmlinux-2.4.18-18.7.xsmp /boot/vmlinuz /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-18.7.x /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-18.7.xsmp also: [root@da2 grub]# ls /boot/initrd-* /boot/initrd-2.4.18-18.7.x.debug.img /boot/initrd-2.4.18-18.7.x.img /boot/initrd-2.4.18-18.7.xsmp.img My root fs is mounted at: /dev/cciss/c0d0p3 / ext3 rw 0 0 /boot/ is at: /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 /boot ext3 rw 0 0 What the heck am I missing?
