What the hell does this mean??? I would be *very* surprised if your kernel was blown (damaged?). The most likely cause of your booting problem is some misconfiguration in your filesystem. Or perhaps a LILO problem. Neither of these have anything to do with a blown kernel. Booting Linux requires three things: a kernel, a root filesystem and a booter. BasicLinux uses a DOS booter (loadlin.exe) and stores the kernel in a DOS directory. Your system probably uses a MBR booter (LILO) and stores the kernel in the Linux filesystem. In both cases the sequence is this: (1) booter starts the kernel (2) kernel does some housekeeping (3) kernel goes to the root filesystem and starts init (4) init spawns a bunch of processes and startup scripts Your problem probably lies in step 4. Or perhaps in step 1. But it is hard to imagine anything that would make a good kernel go bad.
