lba32
boot=/dev/hda
root=/dev/hda3
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
delay=20
vga=1
append="apm=on"
default=LinuxOld

image=/vmlinuz
        initrd=/initrd.img
        label=LinuxNew
        read-only

image=/vmlinuz.old
        initrd=/initrd.img.old
        label=LinuxOld
        read-only

image=/vmlinuz2.2
        label=Linux22
        read-only
        optional

All other lines are comments from original install.
vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-686
vmlinuz.old -> boot/vmlinuz-2.4.17-686
vmlinuz.2.2 -> boot/vmlinuz-2.2.18pre21

initrd.img -> boot/initrd.img-2.4.18-686
initrd.img.old -> boot/initrd.img-2.4.17-686

The weird thing w/ this is that 2.4.17 was using apm
before I installed and did the dist-upgrade ( which
btw did upgrade apmd ).

BTW, in my other post I mentioned a little pcmcia
strangeness. Saw no reply, but I did a ``modprobe
yenta_socket'' and then a ``modprobe xirc2ps_cs'' and
brought the pcmcia nic back up. I guess I need to use
modconf again to make this semi-permanent?
