I think I found a problem in /etc/lilo.conf

Originally I had /dev/ram3 in the 2.4.19-35 image, and that
didn't work. Also I noticed boot= set to /dev/hda, which is
/var, and my boot is on /dev/hdb. However, I have a boot.0300
file. I'm going to switch it back to /dev/hda for now. I think
my lilo is stored in /dev/hda for some reason, and I don't want
to fiddle.

The only thing I can think of to explain the 'finding module dependencies'
issue is the presence of 'append devfs=nomount' vs 'yes' in the appended
lilo.conf. One stanza says yes (mount), the other says no. But does that
explain not being able to use the cdrecorder?

And I was incorrect on the kernel issue. Apparently both are using linux
2.4.19-35mdk, since vmlinuz points there. I've set it up so that one will
boot 2.4.19-16, the other 2.4.19-35. But I don't think that will make
much difference.

I'll try and reboot the 'linux' image now and report back.
