Kernel Problem - I think
Ok heres the deal. I installed RH 7.3 on my laptop. While it was installing, my pcmcia slot and everything else seemed to load without a hitch. After it was installed,rebooted into windows 98 to setup loadlin. While doing so I was faced with the question with what boot image to use. So I searched RH 7.3 Disc 1 for a boot image and used it. I had about 4 or 5 services not load when linux loaded. Afterwards I looked through my other linux box for boot images and found vmlinuz-2.4.18-3, the other boot image I used was just plain vmlinuz. I figured it was the image it was supposed to use, so I tried it. When I used it the system rebooted everytime. So I just now checked out my lilo.conf on my other box and saw that vmlinux-2.4.18-3 is exactly what it uses to boot. What gives? Should I be adding other command lines to loadlin? Here is the command line I'm using:
smartdrv /C (to clear memory)
loadlin vmlinu~1.18- root=/dev/hda2 ro
The image file looks wierd because DOS mode does not support long file names, so it looks funky. Anywho, any suggestions?
