Hallo Mikkel,

is there any way to find out, where the kernel lies? I mean below or above the
1024?

As much as I understand U, I can copy the kernel to another partition?
Will this work? Can I copy my kernel to the DOS partition on /dev/sda3 and it
will boot my /dev/sda5? What to enter in /etc/lilo.conf for make this working?

boot=/dev/sda3
image=/dev/sda3/vmlinuz

BUT

root=/dev/sda5

Will this work? I thought the kernel has to be on my Linux partition.


TIA

Andreas
