Re: Installation problem

Hi,

for me it works to name the zImage exactly like it is named on the vfat
partition on the CF card where the kernel, haret.exe and startup.txt is
located. I don't need to have the kernel in the boot directory on /dev/hda2.

In former days there was a bug in haret and you had to use wrap-haret. This
should be solved but could be worth a try.

here is my startup.txt file:

---------------------------------------
set KERNEL zImage
set MTYPE 341
set CMDLINE "root=/dev/hda2 rootdelay=5 console=tty0"
bootlinux
---------------------------------------

hope that helps
Gerhard
