I believe this to be the case, interestingly I use a VFAT /boot partition so I can edit grub.conf from eckspee and VFAT doesn't support sym links which was causeing the tar error I had on the GIF day when stage1 was extracting.

Accordinly my grub says: kernel (hd0,2)/bzImage

/cb

thinking about it I think it may be so that you can use the line

kernel=/boot/bzImage, whether or not /boot is a separate partition.

Think about it!

Hi Chris,

do you remember the strange line in grub.conf from Saturday? In the kernel line one specifes the location of the kernel image like (boot partition)/boot/bzImage, where the boot partition itself is normally mounted at /boot in the root tree. Therefore there shouldn't be a directory by the name /boot in the boot partition. I've found that the boot partition has a symbolic link with the name boot to itself. Hence you could also write (boot partition)/bzImage or even (boot partition)/boot/boot/boot/boot/bzImage with exactly the same result.

Cheers,
Conrad.
