I have always copied mine over manually too. I keep quite a few spares laying around, just in case. I had one that got corrupted a long time ago. After I booted another kernel and looked at the one I was trying to boot, it was only a few kilo bytes worth. No clue what happened there. I just copied it over again and the size was right. Then it booted fine. Weird. Dale :-) :-)
