Good question, Amos. You should begin with listing the files: ls -al /mnt2 What do you get? Usually there are links vmlinux and initrd.img pointing at vmlinux-2.6.x.x.x and initrd.img-2.6.x.x.x, respectively. They should come from a package called linux-image-2.6 or something similar. You can se

Hi Amos, The one thing you probably forgot, was to copy the vmlinux and initrd.img images from /boot to Mac OS 'Linux Kernels' folder. Then you will have to direct BootX to use them, as you did with the images from the install CD. Now you must try to re-start the installation and then suspend it
