Here is the difference.. If your using /boot as its own partition, you should use /kernel-blah. if your using /boot on your root partition, then its /boot/kernel-blah. What gentoo did, smartly, was just write out the above because they put on the boot drive a link. The boot -> . This enables the above to work either way you want your drive.. Redhats default install separates boot, so /boot will not work in grub. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
