Where do I have to specify the drive? Both, /vmlinuz and /initrd.img are symlinks, could this cause the problem?
That's quite possible. I don't know if the FILO ext2 driver tries to resolve symlinks.
It does, but it might not be too good at it.
Does the same scenario with the same menu.lst work with legacy bios and grub?
Both are fetched from sda5 when booted, the root filesystem itself is on sda2 ("linux notation").
And even if it does, symlinks across partitions are not likely to be supported.
yes. they are definitely not.
Try specifying hde5:.. paths for both the kernel and initrd directly to FILO, bypassing the menu.lst file, or possibly doing so within the menu.lst file.
And please try bypassing the symlinks first by putting the names of the real files into menu.lst. So we know whether its a symlink issue.
