[syslinux] EXTLINUX 3.07 - trouble with extlinux.conf

[Wojciech Ściesiński]

Hi,
I want use extlinux 3.07 to boot Thinstation from hard disk.
o
I have kernel, whos name is vmlinuz, and init RAM disk (initrd).

My hard disk is...

Disk /dev/hda: 65 MB, 65536000 bytes
8 heads, 32 sectors/track, 500 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 256 * 512 = 131072 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *           1         499       63856   83  Linux

files system on /dev/hda1 is ext2

I install extlinux

mkdir -p /boot/extlinux
extlinux /boot/extlinux

and

on /dev/hda1 I have files

/mnt/hda1:
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root  1024 2005-03-01 21:27 boot
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 19616 2005-03-01 21:25 extlinux
-rw-r--r--  1 root root   210 2005-03-01 21:35 extlinux.cfg
-rw-r--r--  1 root root   194 2005-03-01 20:34 lilo.conf

/mnt/hda1/boot:
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root    1024 2005-03-01 21:32 extlinux
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 6650559 2005-03-01 19:35 initrd
-rw-r--r--  1 root root      21 2005-03-01 19:35 thinstation.txt
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  999152 2005-03-01 19:35 vmlinuz

/mnt/hda1/boot/extlinux:
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  210 2005-03-01 21:32 extlinux.cfg
-r--r--r--  1 root root 9220 2005-03-01 21:28 extlinux.sys

My extlinux.cfg is

timeout 0
default vmlinuz
append loadramdisk=1 initrd=initrd ramdisk_blocksize=4096 root=/dev/rd/0
ramdisk_size=262144 splash=silent vga=791
display thinstation.txt

but I tried other configuration in extlinux.cfg file


timeout 0
default /dev/hda1/boot/vmlinuz
append loadramdisk=1 initrd=/dev/hda1/boot/initrd ramdisk_blocksize=4096
root=/dev/rd/0 ramdisk_size=262144 splash=silent vga=791
display thinstation.txt

When I boot computer then I have on screen message

"Could not find kernel image: linux
boot:"

When I write in "default vmlinuz append loadramdisk=1 initrd=initrd
ramdisk_blocksize=4096 root=/dev/rd/0 ramdisk_size=262144 splash=silent
vga=791"
then my Thinstation boot.

Where I have do break ??

Help me !! Please !

Sorry, my english ;-)

Best Regards from Poland
