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

[Phil_Newlon at wendys.com]

UPDATE:

- Changed "DISPLAY" to "SAY" (I started using a file to display a message, 
just wanted to say "hello" so I knew extlinux found the config file, 
didn't change the command to SAY)
- Saw that "hello" was being displayed, so I knew extlinux was finding the 
.conf file.
- Copied "bzImage.phil" to "linux"
- Changed "KERNEL bzImage.phil" to "KERNEL linux", now it loads.

Why does extlinux ignore my "KERNEL bzImage.phil" command, but likes 
"KERNEL linux"?

TIA (again) Phil

extlinux can't find extlinux.conf file?






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
        -rw-r--r-- 1 root root  674260 2007-09-11 11:48 System.map
