Yes, I have tried to use the standard built kernels, and the ebi payload loads up, and gets to the kernel. Then it stops, without loading anything further. After looking @ the kernels of an old one, and then looking @ the kernels of new. It's seems to me that the new doesn't have the boot sector stuff packaged in. I did a make fdimage288 and it is so close. # file fdimage fdimage: x86 boot sector, SYSLINUX bootloader (3.11) So I tried to use that image and I received the following error. Can not determine the file type of kernel So it doesn't like that either.. I am still hacking away at this, in trying to figure out what LNXI did that was different than the rest of the world. Thanks for all your help so far!
