Subject: [suse-axp] Help! Aboot can't find 2.4 kernel in SuSE 7.1 AXP

    I just got the SuSE 7.1 AXP boxset and I've run into a couple of problems.
    First off, I could not get YaST2 to display with my Mach64 based ATI Expert
    98. I then chose non-graphical Yast and the installtion went fine. I
    selected
    the 2.4 kernel and the installer copied the kernel to the disk.

    I rebooted and set up my SRM variables using boot flag 0. Aboot 0.7
    complained about not finding boot/vmlinuz.gz. Why did it do this? My disk
    has 2
    partitions...a swap and then /. I don't need a seperate FAT /boot partition
    for the
    kernel, do I? I thought that was only for ARC.

    SRM version is 5.9, machine is an XP1000, everything is stock.

    Please help...let me know what to set the SRM vars to so I can boot, and let
    me know if I need more than just the 2 partitions. I don't remember creating
    a
    seperate boot partition on this machine in the past with 6.4 but maybe I
    forgot about
    it.

    Thanks,

    Michael
