Hello, I booted from the floppy, and I found (with uname -r) that my computer is running the 2.4.18-bf2.4 kernel (vmlinuz) with initrd.img-2.4.18-k7. There is no other initrd in boot so it has to be the k7. I have an athlon cpu and chose the k7 kernel during install. Somehow though I'm running the bf2.4. I can change the grub listed to reflect that. Or I could try to get the k7 kernel to work. What's the right way and is there something weird/wrong about having these two different listings for boot? Also the vga=791 line blanks out the start up, booting messages. It works in SuSE and slack but not Debian. Quoting "Jerome R. Acks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
