Please make the following change to /usr/share/misc/magic as described in bug
report 106898. Then run "file" on the kernel and see if it is the right type
of kernel.
Here is the first three lines of the Linux kernel recognition. The third line
used to check for =0x201, the correct check is for >=0x200 (which is the check
performed by lilo). The magic file should match lilo's checks for this to
help
in debugging lilo problems.
