Re: Grub

[J Y <jhy@x-mail.net>]

Hello, I booted from the floppy, and I found (with uname -r) that my
computer is running the 2.4.18-bf2.4 kernel (vmlinuz) with
initrd.img-2.4.18-k7. There is no other initrd in boot so it has to be
the k7. I have an athlon cpu and chose the k7 kernel during install.
Somehow though I'm running the bf2.4. I can change the grub listed to
reflect that. Or I could try to get the k7 kernel to work. What's the
right way and is there something weird/wrong about having these two
different listings for boot? Also the vga=791 line blanks out the start
up, booting messages. It works in SuSE and slack but not Debian.
