> In all cases, it does need to be under /boot. Are you sure? I don't think it needs to be anywhere, as grub.conf is only read by grub when you install the grub boot loader. Some put it to /etc, some to /boot, who cares. At boot time, grub only needs to be able to locate the second stage, which contains the kernel and menu.lst. The location of the second stage is hardcoded into the boot loader when running grub --batch <grub.conf, I expect. With lilo you need to reinstall the boot loader each time your kernel image file changes[1]. With grub, you only need to do this when it moves to a different filesystem[2]. Volker [1] The list of actual disk blocks taken up by the kernel image file is hardcoded (ok around 2 corners) into the boot loader. [2] Grub can locate the file on the filesystem by itself. You need to tell it which filesystem though. -- Volker Kuhlmann is possibly list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me.
