[syslinux] extlinux can't find extlinux.conf file?

[Phil_Newlon at wendys.com]

When I try to boot my system using extlinux I get the error:

EXTLINUX 3.51 2007-06-10 EBIOS Copyright (C) 1994-2007 H. Peter Anvin
Could not find kernel image: linux
boot: ÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕ

I've searched the archives and it would appear that extlinux can't find 
the extlinux.conf file....  Is there something glaring that I am missing?

TIA - Phil



I have a 32MB CF card partitioned like this:

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1         245       31344   83  Linux

I created the filesystem 
        "mke2fs /dev/sda1"

Mounted it
        "mount /dev/sda1 /mount/sda1"

Created the MBR 
        "cat /root/syslinux-3.51/mbr/mbr.bin > /dev/sda"

Installed extlinux
        "/root/syslinux-3.51/extlinux -i /mount/sda1"

I created the extlinux.conf file in /mount/sda1, it contains:

        root at pnewl01:/mount/sda1# cat extlinux.conf
        DISPLAY hello

        LABEL 1
                KERNEL bzImage.phil

Here's the directory listing of my /dev/sda1 (mounted on /mount/sda1) 
directory:

        root at pnewl01:/mount/sda1# ls -lt
        total 2216
