And the error which I found curently in your grub.conf entry is : You mentioned that you copied the images to boot directory with name vmlinuz but in grub.conf you are specifying the / directory and also try by changing root=LABEL=/ to /dev/<your_boot_device_node> I hope this will work !!!! -- Fawad Lateef -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
