[cobalt-developers] problems booting the redhat 7.3 kernel on a raq3

["John P. Looney" <valen@xxxxxxxxxx>]

 I've followed the details on www.gurulabs.com/rhl-cobalt-howto/ as well
as I could, but I can't get my raq3 to take a redhat kernel. I took the
step of flashing the box with the 'beta' 2.3.40 ROM.

 I've installed redhat with / as /dev/hda2, and /boot as a 30MB ext2 on
/dev/hda1. I made a /boot in hda1, and put a /boot/vmlinux.gz in it (made
by running gzip -9 on /boot/vmlinux-2.4.18-3).

 So, if the box did boot up, I'd expect that kernel to be in
/boot/boot/vmlinu..., if you understand me.

 So, at the prom, I type:

Cobalt:Boot Menu> bfd /boot/vmlinux.gz
First stage kernel: Decompressing - done
Second stage kernel: Decompressing - done
Linux version 2.2.16C28 (konkers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) (gcc version egcs-2.91.66 1

 So, it keeps booting the old ROM kernel. Why ? 

 Can I force it to boot from disk, or maybe give an error why it isn't ?
Can I upload this redhat kernel into the ROM (I've a feeling that it's a
little big though).

 Should I just roll my own, from the Cobalt Kernel SRPM in 
ftp://ftp-eng.cobalt.com/pub/users/thockin/2.4/gen_III/, place that in
/boot and try and boot from that ?
