Oops! I would have expected the wrong kernel image to cause a kernel panic
rather than to load then fail later on -- but obviously I don't know what
I'm doing in the kernel department. I hope this is the only thing wrong.
Once I manage to boot from the CD with the correct kernel, is this the
correct procedure for fixing my problem?
1. change the /vmlinuz and /initrd symlinks to point to the i386
kernel images
2. check lilo.conf and run /sbin/lilo
3. pray|chant|sacrifice and reboot
4. stop messing with these things on my important workstation (that's
what the spare computer is for)
Thanks,
Adam
