Re: Various way to build the kernel?

[jmcdowell]

  Yes, I have tried to use the standard built kernels, and the ebi payload
loads up, and gets to the kernel.  Then it stops, without loading
anything further.  After looking @ the kernels of an old one, and then
looking @ the kernels of new.  It's seems to me that the new doesn't
have the boot sector stuff packaged in.  I did a make fdimage288 and it
is so close.

# file fdimage
fdimage: x86 boot sector, SYSLINUX bootloader (3.11)

  So I tried to use that image and I received the following error.
Can not determine the file type of kernel

  So it doesn't like that either..  I am still hacking away at this, in
trying to figure out what LNXI did that was different than the rest of
the world.

 Thanks for all your help so far!
