You just have to have the kernel and first/second.b and quik.conf on the same partition when all of the symlinks are resolved. (I debugged this about a year ago, untangling the symlink-following logic was quite a chore!)> i think quik's symlink code is quite unreliable, as a friend of mine always had his 7200 fail to boot if quik was pointed at a /boot/vmlinux -> /boot/vmlinux-2.2.1X symlink. /boot is on the root filesystem, not a separate partition, i could not concieve of why this configuration kept failing to boot so i had him change image= from /boot/vmlinux to /boot/vmlinux-2.2.1X and it worked correctly. > It sounds like the /vmlinux symlink is broken, is this the case for 2.2R3 images? If so, it's a boot-floppies bug... possibly but i doubt it. i think its quik's symlink code is unreliable. but i have no oldworld hardware to play with so.. btw, can you please toss a \n in your message every once in a while? like say every 72 characters. thanks ;-) -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
