It doesn't. It sounds like the "/boot/vmlinux" palo is looking at has nothing to do with the "/boot/vmlinux" on your root disk. Ie you have a seperate "/boot" F0-type partition and palo should really be looking for "vmlinux" or just give palo the full name of the kernel (eg vmlinux-2.5-25-pa1-smp). You can test this by saying "Y" to the "Interact with IPL (y/n/c)" question. > Can I just rename > the new kernel to end in 64, modify the symlink and boot the smp kernel? The kernel can be named anything. The 32/64 suffix is just a hint which mode (narrow vs wide) to use if there is a choice (eg install media). grant > > Thanks, > > Harry > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
