Do you know how we would go about detecting Geexbox? I assume it doesn't
provide an /etc/lsb-release file otherwise we'd be detecting it already,
so we need something unique to it to detect it. Files such as
/etc/<distro>-release seem reasonably common, but there's some variation
here.

I assume you added the initrd entry in your attached file by hand?

What boot loader does your Mandriva installation use? Can you please
attach its configuration file?
