Re: Loadlin problem

[BobGunther aol com]

I guess I left out some information that I shouldn't have...

First, I've got a dual drive system, one SCSI, one EIDE... DOS is on the 
scsi, and I've got windows 2K and linux on the EIDE.

The output from the command:
loadlin f:\loadlin\bzimage root=/dev/hda6 initrd=f:\loadlin\initrd.img ro 
vga=extended

LOADLIN v1.6 (C) 1994..1996 Hans Lermen <lermen elserv ffm fgan de>
not an Image file,
Please enter name of kernel image file followed by optional 
command line parameters for Linux (e.g.  root=XXXX)
or @file ( file = param file ) or "empty string" to abort:

LOADLIN aborted by user

I did try replacing bzimage with bzImage, tried various path attempts .\ ./ 
and no path at all... loadlin just doesn't seem to see the file as a kernal 
image.

I got bzImage to my dos F drive in the following manner: The F drive was 
mounted as an msdos partition at /mnt/dos/f. I used cp to copy the kernal 
from the build directory (/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot) to the 
/mnt/dos/f/loadlin. I tried copying the file using both bzimage as the 
destination and bzImage. I even tried using the --sparse=never option for 
copy, in case it was trying to copy the kernel as a sparse file. (I didn't 
think that likely, but I tried everything I could think of) Is it possible 
there is some problem I'm not thinking of with transferring the kernel in 
this manner?

Any help greatly appreciated.
