I have used loadlin before for booting from DOS/Windows as an emergency
solution if lilo was wiped out ( other linux distributions) but when I
tried the same thing for Mdk-7 I get the response from loadlin that
the file I specified is not an image file. The file was a copy of
vmlinuz-2.2.14-15mdkfb in the linux /boot directory that I copied to
the mounted DOS partition where I named it vmlinuz. I then exe the
file " loadlin vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 ro " Loadlin complains then that
the file is not an image file. The vmlinuz-2.2.14-15mdkfb is the one I
boot from LILO so I know its OK in the linux world.
The thing that concerns me is that the file is a large kernel
640+kb. Loadlin doesn't complain about memory or anything other than
it not being an image file. I've read the loadlin.txt manual and HOWTOs
on the web and couldn't find answers
IF that doesn't work, is there any shortcut to run the part of
the install script that asks " do you want to make a bootdisk". I can
just make several and hope to find one at a bad time :)
Thanks,
