On Mandrake, /boot is in the root partition, hda5, and on Mandrake, /boot is on its own partition ,hdb1.. I run lilo from Debian, and, when I run it, I just mount hda5 on /mnt, and have an entry in lilo.conf like, "image=/mnt/boot/vmlinuz".. of course, if Mandrake's /boot were on its own partition, the same image would be "image=/mnt/vmlinuz" the map and boot.b stuff I include are those of the Debian system. Do you have your System.maps installed in their respective locations? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
