Hello,

I have a question regarding manual boot of Linux.  Here is what in the grub.conf file:

        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 ro root=LABEL=/
        initrd /initrd-2.4.20-8.img
Now, let's assume I don't know the version of vmlinuz and the initrd image.  If I am 
at the grub prompt, how do I find out the version of Linux to pass to the kernel 
command and initrd command?  Because I tried to pass initrd /initrd, it fails.  It 
required initrd /initrd-2.4.20-8.img.  If you try to troubleshoot an unbootable Linuz 
box, and you have no idea what version of Linux exist, then how do you find that out?

thanks,
