HI.. In /boot there is vmlinuz and vmlinuz.suse as well as some others.. The default boot is vmlinuz bot could someone tell me the difference between that and vmlinuz.suse which I assume is the failsafe option in the bootup screen ?? Regards Ted Wager
it's idd the difference as you can see in lilo
image = /boot/vmlinuz label = linux root = /dev/hda2 initrd = /boot/initrd append = "enableapic vga=0x0317"
image = /boot/vmlinuz.suse label = failsafe root = /dev/hda2 initrd = /boot/initrd.suse append = "disableapic ide=nodma apm=off"
but so far as i can see there is no difference between this files, not in size, and also diff doesn't find differences.
regards Frederik Vos www.vosberg.be
of course, there would be if you had problems with apic, dma or apm.... and also, if you have your own custom kernel, this option would give you access to the SuSE 'backup' Tom - -- "I'd love to go out with you, but I'm attending the opening of my garage door." -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8pIjIAEYnIVU7X9IRAlWNAJ4zSVaAwy8Dd1/w1s//diVGEPFWXwCghRkg hdgAD9C5WXyCwZz2chvUZ+k= =YGfI -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
