= wrong kernel name |

|

try: 'kernel (hd0,0)/boot/linux-2.6.17-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/hda2' |

On a side note: |
| 22 |
You asked about the "boot -> ." symlink in your previous thread, this is a |
| 23 |
convenience thing for users like you. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
You have a seperate /boot partition /dev/hda1 with the kernel. |
| 26 |
But you tell grub the kernel is at "(hd0,0)/boot/<kernel>" |
| 27 |
This maps to /dev/hda1/boot/<kernel> |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
By linking "boot -> ." grub can still find the kernel even though the config |
| 30 |
is wrong. |
