Additionally..
I also tried to boot the saved kernel
prior to the build.. but it just does not
boot..Can I put a copy of the kernel from
the suse 8.1 disk to /boot as vmlinuz
and hope that it boots ?..
After spending the entire night trying
to get it up and running I am looking for
some help here on the group.
TIA
