image file?

image file?

[Glenn Ervin]

whenever I try loading loadlin, it asks for an image file with options.
would I receive this message if I had the hdc part incorrect?
I think my d drive is hdc because I have to jumper the 
removable drives as master in order for them to work.
Also, do I need to not load dtexp.bat since that is a DOS driver?
If I have no partitions, will hdx1 always be 1?

The image file in question is the kernel you are using.

Hi

Loadlin is a dos utility to load Linux kernel images.  Most installation
routines put a copy of the kernel in ram to initiate the install.  Thus your
disk organisation has little to do with loadlin asking for what it was built
for.  There's plenty of documentation on loadlin and its parameters.

Hi all.  Got a kernel compiling question for whoever can answer it.  I 
downloaded the 2.4.15 kernel today and compiled it using the make mrproper, 
make menuconfig, make dep, make bzImage and make install procedure.  I am 
running debian, and after running lilo at the end of the make install, I 
reboot the computer and the new kernel is not there.  It is still reporting 
2.2.18.  Any suggestions on how to get my new kernel to come up?

Thanks,


Guy

Re: image file?

[Jason]

simple, you need to put the new kernel image in the same place the old one 
was.
basically, you just copy the bzImage file from 
<path_to_kernel_source>/arch/i386/boot/bzImage to wherever your distribution 
keeps the kernel image, then re-run lilo.
