There may be a patch or special config setting needed (I don't know
for sure) to enable booting by label. Try
So, since RedHat9 uses ext3, initrd probably has the ext3 module in it
so it can load the kernel?

To enable initrd, set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD in your kernel config. Go
to the Block Devices page and enable RAM disk support and Initial
RAM disk (initrd) support.
Would that be these two?
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=y
Rob,
You can look for yourself; something like:
cd ~
cp /boot/initrd-xxx.img ~/whats_this.img.gz
gunzip whats_this.img.gz
mkdir mnt
mount -o loop,ro whats_this.img mnt
ls -laR mnt

I'm building a new kernel on the laptop running redhat 9. I've never
used grub before. There is a /boot/grub/grub.conf file which I edited.
Is there anything else I ahve to do similar to /sbin/lilo?
Thanks,
Rob

If your system already uses grub, then you're done. That's grub's
claim
I note that the RH 8.0 boot loader Grub interferes with the boot of Koppix
3.1.
Hardware boot order is floppy, CD, IDE. Failure on three dual boot machines.
Stopping Grub and pressing TAB gives a list of possible commands, but which
one, (is it the red wire or the blue wire.)
