I'm having trouble getting BackupEdge to work on my system. Perhaps because it cannot find my kernel. Can anyone help me point to my kernel in this instance?

As root check /boot/menu.lst to see where you kernel is actually loaded from. (hd1,1) means the second hard drive and the second partition on it is your / root and boot partition. Guessing that your main hard drive (hd0,0) may be closer to reality? /boot/menu.lst will show you what BackupEdge should be seeing. Stan

Hi Stan, I don't have a menu.lst file: # cat /boot/menu.lst cat: /boot/menu.lst: No such file or directory. Is there another way to see where my kernel is actually loaded from? I think the (hd1,1) is correct: /etc/fstab: /dev/hdb2 / reiserfs defaults 1 1 Thanks, Jerome

Then you must be using lilo; you should have an /etc/lilo.conf (from memory). -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

it should have been .... /boot/grub/menu.lst not ... /boot/menu.lst -- Louis D. Richards LDR Interactive Technologies

Oops. That should be /boot/grub/menu.lst, sorry. Your fstab looks like your root is on (hd1,1). Do you have a separate /boot partition listed in fstab such as /dev/hdb1 or /dev/hdb3? IF you do then that's where BackupEdge should be looking. IF you have a /boot directory in / then I'm out of ideas for now. Stan
