/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.9 is a real file; /boot/vmlinuz is a symlink to
vmlinuz-2.4.9; /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.9smp does not exist in /boot/.
It looks like it is about the right size (1064985), too, judging by the
other vmlinuz-* in that dir.
Thanks,
Sean

I'm really glad to see this. I am using grub on one of my

I have never had to reinstall grub; I believe that sentiment is
just leftover from experience with lilo. I have only needed to
edit menu.lst (as you suggest later in your email).

Did you compile in ramdisk and initrd support (vs. just making
them a module?)?
Is /boot/vmlinux-2.4.9smp a symbolic link to somewhere
problematic or is it a real file?
