[LinuxBIOS] question about filo fail

[AlexHuang]

Hi all,

I used FILO to build a filo.elf, and see the message "Mounted ext2fs".
But it fails on next step, the error message is "File not found

". I am sure that my hard drive has file "/boot/ vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667".

The whole messages are as below.

Thanks

Alex

hda1 is about 100MB. It's probably not the root partition in your
system. If hda1 is mounted on /boot then the correct path in FILO
is hda1:/vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667

By the way, please upgrade your kernel. 2.6.9 is very old and had
a lot of problems.
